FDA Panel Calls for Smaller Doses of Painkillers

[TaylorCAdams]

The panel recommended the elimination of Congress, cancellation of "Jersey Shore," and expulsion of Mets from Major League Baseball.

Oh god. Personally I feel acetamenophen is as safe as some prescription strength pain killers, but we cannot make that choice for ourselves, the federal government has to? People take acetamenophen because its approved by the govt, so its ok. We never hear the real dangers of drugs, illicit or otherwise.

Why can't I choose to take Acetaminophen separate from those other drugs???

I'll bet there's a filthy rich lobbyist working for the manufactures of Acetaminophen pushing to include Acetaminophen in everything... screw the health of the patient.

Our healthcare system is SO SCREWED UP.

Line up for your flu shots. NWO, rah rah rah!!!

FDA got sooo smart. They tried to stop people from commited suicide due to great recession.

Economy is bad. everything is bad.

If someone wants to die, smaller doses in painkillers isn't going to stop them. Guns are still easily accessible in the U.S + there are many other methods

[screeniedrop]

Guns are hard to get if living big cities.

You should read about GOA, 2012, layoff, unemployment, mass bankruptcies.

It's like people's health is failing.

And when the Tylenol is causing you liver pains you need to take more Tylenol...

[sugarpuddin88]

Big Government to the rescue again!!

So all the best meds are not allowed in the USA

Rulid, Reboxetine, vasomax, Amineptine, etc. etc. etc..

What? This is ridiculous. The majority of those hospitalizations and deaths are attempted suicides (i know someone who tried it) not from normal everyday use. These people need to get their heads out of their asses and treat the public like reasonable adults.

The drug companies are going to love this. Lowering the concentration of active ingredient like he proposed at the end would mean they can charge the same about for less and people will have to buy more for the same effect.
