FDA limits acetaminophen in prescription products; requires liver toxicity warnings

^I just filled a script for some M360s and they're still 750 mg APAP per pill.

All they did was ask the manufacturers to lower the APAP to 325 mg. I don't know if the FDA has the power to force anybody to do anything. They're not cops.
 
That blows. I took ten 5mg/500mg hydrocodones today, and was hoping by chance that they were dropped to 5/325s so I could stop thinking about how fucked up my liver probably is right now.

Alcohol is actually degraded by the enzyme that produces the toxic by-product of acetaminophen metabolism.
So if you drank some alcohol, there will be competition for the enzyme and LESS toxic metabolites will be formed.
In some cases, alcohol can even save your life i.e. in case of acetaminophen overdose.

The only exception to this would be alcoholics, whose liver function is altered by excessive drinking.
But then again, alcoholics benefit most from the competition of alcohol for the same enzyme.
So it's a bullshit statement either way... :\

Do you have a reference for this?

I vomited blood last time I drank with vicodin... Doesn't seem right...

Vomiting blood 9 out if 10 is gastrointestinal bleeding... Nothing however to do with your liver.

When you vomit hard (as in removing toxins = Ethanol) you probably tore some vessels open and spewed it up with your vomit.
 
I also think alcohol tends to make the stomach bleed easier since it thins the blood and also dilates blood vessels on contact

I read it was a sign you damaged your liver...

Happened a few times only when I mixed APAP with alcohol.
