Greg George writes "The FDA has determined that Tylenol enhancing pain killers are dangerous enough to be pulled from the market. Drugs including Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Lortab, Maxidone, Norco, Zydone, Tylenol with codeine, Percocet, Endocet, Darvocet may be permanently banned from the US market, even if the patient has a prescription fro a doctor.The problem is the key ingredient — acetaminophen can easily damage or destroy a patient's liver if more than 2000 mg are used per day. In man cases that means if you take a pain killer and then take two extra strength Tylenol, you may have gone over the maximum dosage per day."
