Abstract
Usage of 500-mg OTC SI acetaminophen formulations does not contribute differently to exceeding dosage compared with other OTC SI acetaminophen formulations. Exceeding 4 grams is more likely when 650-mg ER formulations are used. Improved consumer information on the packages and counseling from pharmacists may help to reduce practices that contribute to exceeding the labeled daily limit of these medications.
