It's been oft repeated that acetaminophen would not be OTC if it were discovered today. The difference between a therapeutic and a toxic dose are waaaaay too small.
It's setting the bar _really_ low to compare to acetaminophen. There's a good chance if it weren't basically the only safe painkiller for pregnant and breastfeeding women it would simply not exist anymore.
- kortex 6y ago> basically the only safe painkiller for pregnant and breastfeeding women Huh, is that why they keep it around? I thought it was mostly cruft/momentum. But it looks like NSAIDs are risky in the 3rd trimester. https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0615/p2517.html https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0615/p2517.html
