It takes a dose of around 15 pills to be fatal. There isn't much that can be done for people who make that error.
Acetaminophen depletes glutathione and lithium in the brain. NAC is a precursor to glutathione. I'm not sure what the mechanism would be for NAC to rescue an acute poisoning.
Not if she washed it down with alcohol.
jUst 15 ...wow
During my ICU training,I took care of a young man that had “survived “ his suicide attempt with Norco . The opioid crisis was over. He finally came to, regretful and ready for help.
Then the labs came in. Each tab has 5mg of Tylenol as well as the hydrocodone that can be reversed with Narcan. But nothing stops the Tylenol. The liver functions trended down with each hourly draw. His liver was dead and rest of the body would follow in about 5 days.
His hope for turning his life around was brief.
Acetaminophen bottle currently recommend that adults take no more than 4,000 milligrams a day, or eight extra-strength pills. Just a doubling of the maximum daily dose can be enough to kill, warns Dr. Anne Larson of the University of Washington. Yet, “if two is good, 10 is better in some patients’ minds,” she says with a sigh.

Tylenol Suicides, that’s a great band name.
I thought this HAD to be the Bee.
Sheeeesh.
I can’t believe this crap is still OTC. it doesn’t even work for me!!
[[I thought these women were just pretending to take large amounts of Tylenol for Tik-Tok “clicks”.]]
I thought either they were faking taking tylenol OR they really were dumb and took it out of spite
Very.
Indeed.
Could have been combined with alcohol.
There was a woman in a town we lived in who took Tylenol while she had been out drinking.
Destroyed her liver. I never heard whether she survived it or not.
Exactly. The women taking the poison hoping it harms Trump.
And the best treatments are not getting a leftist indoctrination instead of an actual education and not consuming the leftist media.
Not if the baby survives.
If they catch the patient early enough, there is an antidote...(N acetyl cysteine) ...usually can save liver if given within 8 hours of ingestion with proper dosing protocol....but if the liver has been exposed to acetaminophen and it’s metabolites for a while....liver gets killed... don’t know if a substitute artificial liver can be employed with a liver transplant if liver is destroyed...
Lots of suicide attempts. Difficult to fathom.
If this report is true, we have another instance where absurd political and social beliefs are associated with severely disturbed people who do violent and dangerous things...we also have a greedy driven reporting media who report such events as being “normal” or important in the struggle for “freedom”...such a joke...
I had a cousin who committed suicide via Tylenol. It was an excruciatingly painful several days before she died.
It seems to be more common than I would have thought.

My guess is women attempting suicide makes it the most overdosed drug there is.
Its toxicity has been known for a long time. People have been convicted of using it as a murder weapon.
