    Gobbling Tylenol

    Uh huh.

    Gobbling means at least a good handful, right?

    Acetaminophen has a rather steep curve where it gets toxic. A standard tablet is 500mg. I sometimes take a double at 1000mg, yet the daily recommended max dose is 4000, only four times that, after which toxic effects start coming. That’s 8 tablets

    This woman, if she exists at all, was likely “gobbling” a single tablet, which is pretty much harmless

      A recommended dose is 1000mg, at least on every paracetamol pack I’ve ever seen.

      Normally that’s 2 x 500mg pills so you can give kids a half dose of one pill.

      500 is the extra strength. 375 is regular strength

        In my country over 300 you need prescription, you could get 1000 without questions.

        I used to take 1000 before, now I take 3*300

        I wonder if the composition of Tylenol is different than Dafalgan, which is the equivalent “known” brand here. 500mg is normal, 1g is strong. There’s a kids version though, would have to check what the box says.

        My money is on that there was no woman, no baby, no placenta, no Tylenol. Just gobbling.

      A standard tablet is 325mg. 500mg is the extra strength one.

      Or, you know, the whole thing is made up. Because they’re liars.

        No no, it’s real. They even saw the baby in the placenta!

        What do you expect from retired environmental lawyer / heroin addict?

        Trump taking covid shot, shows that RFK is there for a spectacle, a distraction and no one in the administration takes his recommendations seriously.

    I mean if someone is doing that it actually would be the rare example where I could say someone is trump deranged. All medication prescription and non prescription is about weighing the potential risks vs benefits. Taking normal dosage of Tylenol is mostly harmless, and the reason a blanket statement of “it’s no harm, just don’t take tylenol” is a horrific mischaracterization even IF the studies cited showed a clear and blatent causal relationship between Tylenol and potential issues, because it’s simply weighing risk of treatement vs nontreatment. IE fever and pain are also things likely to negatively impact a pregnancy as well as the health of a mother.

    Taking any medicine while pregnant, when you do not currently have any condition it is treating is just stupid risk, and if you are taking more than the recomended dosage just to flex on an idiot, you are becoming an idiot yourself.

      and pregnant woman cant take nsaids, that isnt tylenol since it messes with the placenta.

      Per Gizmodo, not the best source, but whatever, the Tiktok in question was from a Russian propaganda account. The woman in the video took two, read that, two Tylenol. The account claims she’s an associate professor at Columbia, but this is not verified as of yet. This is clearly just a brain rotted, worm ridden, old man’s paranoia.

      Let’s be clear here: this didn’t happen. If you actually gobbled handfuls of acetaminophen after a few days you’d experience excruciating stomach pain, turn yellow, and finally die of DIC with blood coming out of your orifices.

      “if someone is doing that” but they aren’t bud. not a single person ever. why are you bending over backwards to make a nazi big fat lie seem reasonable?

      if someone were jamming a big red hot metal rod covered in ants and jelly into their eyes over and over screaming they hate trump so much it made them do this, that would be bad, but the thing is: fucking no one is doing anything like that so what the fuck am i talking about?

        Yeah that is why I made sure the qualifiers were there, obviously I don’t spend time on tiktok, and it looks like most people finding what’s most likely the discussed video was just taking 2 pills, and hell for all we can know from that maybe she actually did have a headache or something wrong.

        I’m fully aware the current administration is nothing but liars misrepresenting everything they have ever come accross.

        The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol
