AB  - Acetaminophen  is  the  most  widely  used  analgesic  and  a  commonly  used  antipyretic.  It  has  been  available  as  an  over-the-counter  formulation  for  more  than  40  years  and  is  exceptionally  safe  when  used  according  to  manufacturer  directions.  Unfortunately,  toxic  levels  can  make  it  a  silent  and  lethal  killer,  as  overdose  may  initially  present  with  few,  if  any,  symptoms.1–3  If  not  promptly  discovered  and  treated,  acetaminophen  toxicity  can  lead  to  liver  failure  and  death  (unless  a  successful  liver  transplant  is  performed).4–10
