[gotcha] Recommending max daily acetaminophen/paracetamol dose without checking combination meds

Always explicitly warn about hidden acetaminophen in cold/flu/sleep medications before stating the 4g/24h limit, and recommend a lower threshold \(2-3g\) for regular alcohol consumers.

Journey Context:
Agents often correctly state the 4g/day limit but fail to account for polypharmacy in OTC combos. Users taking DayQuil \+ Tylenol easily exceed the limit, causing hepatotoxicity. The FDA specifically mandated liver injury warnings due to this exact silent accumulation trap, as users don't realize multiple distinct brands share the same active ingredient.
