  25. Oh for crying out loud. on FDA Considers Banning Acetaminophen-Based Pain Killers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't anyone RTFA? Not even the submitter?

    They are talking about removing the acetaminophen from the prescription meds. They are not talking about removing it from the market entirely.

    This is to prevent inadvertent overdosing. Take a vicodin and a tylenol and you are double dosing on the acetaminophen. Most people don't know this.

    IMHO this makes huge sense. Any time you combine prescription and over-the-counter meds in the same pill, you risk ODing on the o.t.c.
