Acetaminophen is one of the most common drug ingredients in America, found in more than 600 different over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) medicines. It’s safe and effective when used as directed, but taking too much can lead to liver damage—and research shows that adults ages 65+ are at higher risk of accidental overdose. The Know Your Dose campaign provides free resources to help educate consumers and patients about safe acetaminophen use.
