100%. With a drawn-out phase 3 and oodles of black-box warnings to boot.
And why is there so much credulity in this thread? In fact why isn't paracetamol's toxicity more well known? My mom is a nurse and I have an undergrad in chemistry and it wasn't till college senior year in a pharmacochem elective that I learned how narrow the therapeutic range is, and how alcohol shrinks it further to the point where accidentally nerfing your liver with booze and dayquil is plausible.

Are you not familiar with paracetamol?
To post this and compare it to water overdose seem to be the only reason I can think of.

I've mentioned water because it is something that you wouldn't expect.
Probably alcohol would be another item that's easily available, and not many consider as dangerously lethal when overdosed.
On the other hand, I think there's still a lot of common sense left with paracetamol and other medicine.
On the other hand diclofenac is over-the-counter in Australia.
