In this video, PHARMACIST Fi tells the story of Mrs K, who developed liver toxicity symptoms from taking more than the standard adult 2-tablet dose of paracetamol (paracetamol is called 'acetaminophen' in the U.S.A., and the slow release paracetamol which PHARMACIST Fi refers to in this video is called 'extended release' (ER), 'sustained release' (SR), or 'modified release' (MR) by some companies, and you might recognize it by brand names like
Tylenol 8HR Arthritis Pain, or Panadol Osteo, but regardless of brand name, the active ingredient will either be called paracetamol or acetaminophen, and the amount per ER, SR or MR tablet is likely to be 650mg in U.S.A., or 665mg in Australia, and the minimum time between doses of slow release paracetamol is 8hrs in U.S.A. product information (Tylenol 8HR Arthritis Pain), whereas the minimum time between slow release paracetamol doses is currently 6hrs in Australian product information (Panadol Osteo) when this video was published on 13 June 2022... but make sure you ask your pharmacist for current CMIs (which stands for 'Consumer Medicine Information' document - please see below) if you don't already have a CMI for each medicine you take - so you can find out the latest guidance for each of your medicines!).
