The liver-destroying overdose is only about twice the effective dose recommended daily maximum dose (redbird, thank you for the correction), which is way too close for comfort. siderea posted an excellent explanation, including a partial list of OTC and prescription medications containing acetaminophen, inspired by an NPR report which nancylebov wrote about.

I know someone with an aspirin allergy who can't take naproxen or ibuprofen because of the same allergy.
