>A drug on the market for 60 years (and over the counter in many countries) is “extremely dangerous

Tylenol has been on the market for a 60 years, often over the counter, but off label recommendations involving a high dose could be deadly. Drugs should always be considered "extremely dangerous."

Anything in high dose can be dangerous. So that's not helpful.

Anything. For instance, water.

Yep, taking ~8 extra strength Tylenol twice a day is comparable to drinking however many gallons of water a day you would need to cause problems.
