Tylonel accounts for a large number of deaths. Chronic pain patients have to take medications for the rest of their lives, it is safer to consume opiates than acetaminophen long term. Best would be nothing, but as long as there is a slow increase opiates can go on up and up. Where the acenimphen will destroy your liver and kill you fast. Furthermore,
this is a direct result of the war on drugs. the fentanyl and carfentanil coming from china are responsible. before these two were being imported at such high rates opioid deaths were 4,000 per year vs 400,000 for alcohol. Which at first was being blamed on fentanyl being prescribed legally, but was incorrect data. Check the numbers yourself at wonder cdc. attached is the screenshot form cdc data. https://imgur.com/a/fFBTe https://imgur.com/a/fFBTe
- drug_uesr_throw 9y agoMy point was that over prescription is a problem. Just a couple days ago this study showed the power of apap/ibuprofen equal to opiate in extremity pain: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2661581 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/26615... Yeah apap is dangerous in really high doses but it isn't super fatal w NAC intervention. But more people die from opiates than apap nih: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16294364 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16294364
