Is this amount of injury and death really acceptable for an over-the-counter pain reliever?

Thanks for posting the tyl/liver failure abstract..it affirms for me this statement I made Friday..I was basing my opinion on my experience in the hosptital and from 10-15 year old data...

<<IMHO, Tylenol is more dangerous as an OTC than these coxibs...do you know how many deaths/hospitalizations occur on an annual basis for non-suicidal intended overdoses?>>

Zeta

PS..Monette and Doc..I happen to be a Zantac/Ranitidine fan..although it's twice a day dosing, perhaps an alternative while Prilosec is on back order?..
