No kidding. Given that even small doses causes some liver insult, you have to wonder why it is so common. Maybe it is intended to curb hillbilly heroin abuse by giving them liver damage?

>> These are called combination drugs, and the Food and Drug Administration is asking doctors to stop prescribing those that have more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dose.

The number of people addicted to oxycodone and hydrocodone with acetaminophen is astoundingly huge, and practically NONE of these people give a damn how much acetaminophen they're taking every day. Since the tolerance to the painkiller builds up so quickly, they quickly are taking seriously large doses. If the opiates don't get you the acetaminophen will. Pathetic.
