" In putting together an article for our October 1 issue about health mistakes (or &amp;quot;oops&amp;quot; as we call them in the story), there was one &amp;quot;oops&amp;quot; that really got people talking: Taking acetaminophen (found in Tylenol) for a headache then realizing that a combo cold medicine that you took earlier that day also contained acetaminophen. Really, it&amp;#039;s all too easy to do because hundreds of over-the-counter cough and cold meds and even sleep aids \u2013 contain acetaminophen (and also ibuprofen, another pain killer). Another common thought is that since you don&amp;#039;t need a prescription for something, it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;safer\u2014&amp;quot; which of course couldn&amp;#039;t be further from the truth. In fact, acetaminophen overdose is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. So be sure you&amp;#039;re reading the active ingredients list carefully on any cough and cold or allergy medication you&amp;#039;re considering (APAP is also an abbreviation for acetaminophen)\u2014and only take the recommended dose on the package\u2014more is definitely not better!
