Acetaminophen is a very famous name in USA, which is used as a painkiller. More than 97 companies sell it with different names and under different brands but the most popular one is the Tylenol. It is also known as paracetamol in many other parts of the world. This paracetamol is also sold as a constituent of other medicines. Many people trust on arthritis for suppressing their knee pain.
People who take this medicine are more at risk of getting acetaminophen poisoning. In many cases it is seen that taking just twice the amount of recommended dose can lead to lever failure. A huge number of people have been affected by acetaminophen poisoning. A recent survey of the hospital records have showed that a large numbers of peoples (56,000) have been reported with the case of acetaminophen poisoning because of overdose. All these people were knee pain suffers caused due to Arthritis.
If you exceed the limit of the minimum dose per day of acetaminophen, which is 4000 mg you are at risk. It also adds up on the pain caused sue to the arthritis. This is just happened to one of my colleague. He was suffering from flu so he just decided to take some medicine that can suppress his cold and flu problems. As most of the medicines for common flu and cold have acetaminophen he took one of them. Now just to get rid of the problem soon he popped some within the specified time interval. He is now suffering with pain.
Some people have also complained about arthritis due to sub optimal detoxification pathways present in the antioxidants. Furthermore, this same pathway is necessary for detoxifying many of the chemicals we are exposed to. So if we are going to pop more acetaminophen we don’t have detoxification. This only worsens the pain in the knee. We provide you with the healthy dose limit of acetaminophen for adults and young ones. Healthy young adults should not take more than 4000 mg per day. If you are going to use this medicines for long then you should not exceed the amount 3250 mg per day. Better if you know that you are more susceptible then 2000 to 3000 mg per day would be enough. This safe and healthy limit of the medicine is responsible for better going on with liver and kidney function that generally decline with age along with the knee pain.
