Why PARACETAMOL Has the Narrowest Everyday Safety Margin

About this video

Paracetamol is in almost every bathroom cabinet โ€” and the gap between a normal dose and a liver-damaging one is smaller than most people think. The drug can look gentle while the liver quietly does the hard work of processing it. We stick to the mechanism and the margin, not instructions for your situation. If you are unsure about a medicine, talk to a clinician โ€” education, not a prescription. #paracetamol #liver #pharmacology
