RE: [PozHealth] Fw: NATAP: Ban Vicodin/Percocet-FDA Panel Recommends
"Acetaminophen, where it is known as paracetamol in Europe, I hear is often
sold with its antidote. NAC."
Is it? I never heard of that.
When properly used, paracetamol is quite stomach friendly, with the desired
effect.
And properly used means: staying within the recommended limit of 6 x 500 mg
a day.
Only over 15 x 500mg it is consired harmfull to the liver.
And indeed, in case of overdose, NAC is an antidote.
I consider acetaminophen/paracetamol much safer than NSAID's.
The use of NSAID's, even within their safetly limit, can give many side
efects.
Chronic use of NSAIS's in the Netherlands is always accompanied with proton
pump inhibitors to prevent gastric bleeding.
