[gotcha] Safe dosage for Acetaminophen \(Paracetamol\)

Always calculate the maximum daily dose by summing ALL medications containing acetaminophen \(e.g., cold/flu remedies\), not just the standalone painkiller. Cap at 3g/day for adults if combining, never exceed 4g/day.

Journey Context:
Agents often state the safe dose of pure acetaminophen \(e.g., 500mg-1000mg per dose, up to 4g/day\) without checking for hidden acetaminophen in over-the-counter combination cold medicines. Patients double-dipping easily exceed the hepatotoxicity threshold, which is the leading cause of acute liver failure.
