    Man, the real nazis of old (the third reich) must be so jealous they never figured to invent a fake mental illness to prosecute nondesireables with.

    Gobbling Tylenol

    Uh huh.

    Gobbling means at least a good handful, right?

    Acetaminophen has a rather steep curve where it gets toxic. A standard tablet is 500mg. I sometimes take a double at 1000mg, yet the daily recommended max dose is 4000, only four times that, after which toxic effects start coming. That’s 8 tablets

    This woman, if she exists at all, was likely “gobbling” a single tablet, which is pretty much harmless

        In my country over 300 you need prescription, you could get 1000 without questions.

        I used to take 1000 before, now I take 3*300

        I wonder if the composition of Tylenol is different than Dafalgan, which is the equivalent “known” brand here. 500mg is normal, 1g is strong. There’s a kids version though, would have to check what the box says.

          Children’s versions are often liquid form iirc.

          Dosage levels probably vary widely between different places. Composition will change but the important part is the active/medical ingredients, the other stuff is just usually to prevent tampering or to make easier to take. Coated/non coated. Crush resistance or interference, possibly agents to reduce ingestion discomfort etc. how many mg of the active ingredient (acetaminophen is paracetamol) is usually the difference. Cutting pills in half is often just as good as taking a lower dose pill. Just depends on who needs it.

          Think the general guideline is not to exceed 4000mg per 24h period ages 12+ though always read the medications guide lines

          If it’s acetaminophen then it’s Tylenol equivalent

          (acetaminophen is paracetamol)

    I mean if someone is doing that it actually would be the rare example where I could say someone is trump deranged. All medication prescription and non prescription is about weighing the potential risks vs benefits. Taking normal dosage of Tylenol is mostly harmless, and the reason a blanket statement of “it’s no harm, just don’t take tylenol” is a horrific mischaracterization even IF the studies cited showed a clear and blatent causal relationship between Tylenol and potential issues, because it’s simply weighing risk of treatement vs nontreatment. IE fever and pain are also things likely to negatively impact a pregnancy as well as the health of a mother.

    Taking any medicine while pregnant, when you do not currently have any condition it is treating is just stupid risk, and if you are taking more than the recomended dosage just to flex on an idiot, you are becoming an idiot yourself.

      Per Gizmodo, not the best source, but whatever, the Tiktok in question was from a Russian propaganda account. The woman in the video took two, read that, two Tylenol. The account claims she’s an associate professor at Columbia, but this is not verified as of yet. This is clearly just a brain rotted, worm ridden, old man’s paranoia.

      Let’s be clear here: this didn’t happen. If you actually gobbled handfuls of acetaminophen after a few days you’d experience excruciating stomach pain, turn yellow, and finally die of DIC with blood coming out of your orifices.
