829146
It is NOT FOR TYLENOL but for "store brands" of 500-mg acetaminophen CAPLETS which may have had metal in them.  It is a voluntary recall.\n\nThis is a LIST OF ALL THE PRIVATE LABELS affected by the recall:  \nhttp://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perrigo/perrigocustlist.html\n\nFrom one of their press releases:\nGeneric drugmaker Perrigo Co. is recalling 11 million bottles of over-the-counter, store-brand acetaminophen caplets after finding metal fragments in some batches, U.S. health officials said on Thursday.\n\nThe 500-milligram pills may have been sent to dozens of stores around the country, including some outlets of Wal-Mart, Safeway, CVS and Food Lion, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said

You need to bring this to attention of your physician and I can;t believe that your pharmacy has not caught on to this.  Most physicians also will realize when a patient begins to overuse their daily doses and if your physician has never brought this over usage to your attention than I suggest you speak to him and let him know what predicament you are in.  I took pain medications for many years and I became addicted and no one saw it around me.  It is the most painful of all things I ever had to do because I was diagnosed with a disease and I needed that relief.  It has been almost 6 years and I havent treated my pain with anything but advil, tylenol and the odd pain pill given to me by the hospital when I deem necessary.  I took over 100 prescibed pain pills a week.  It wasn't until I had pain that I was medicating myself for that almost killed me and sent me into emergency surgery that I realized what I had done.  You need to get help!  If you don't get help, you will only need more and one day, you won't get them.  You risk your own life each day by what you are doing.  If you take it for that pain that it wasn't precribed for it will hurt you.  And if your pain doesn't seem better, you will need more and eventually, your body won't tolerate it and you will have to move on to another pain medication.  It may take away your pain and give you that euphoric "everything feels good" sensation...but it won't in time.

Yes, but if taken as directed it shouldn't be a problem. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in tylenol. It's also is what the majority of vicodin is, although the active ingredient in vicodin is hydrocodone, there's a hundred times as much acetominophen in each pill as hydrocodone. The vicodin most prescribed is 500mg of acetaminophen and 5mg of hydrocodone. People who overuse vicodin often have health problems more related to acetopminophen than the opiate, because it's bad for the liver and stomach. But I'm talking people that pop 2000-5000 mg a day, regular strength tylenol is 325mg and is taken for a short period of time.

I think you need to contact your rx company. It is a very serious matter. Imagine if you didn't examine and just swallowed it. It could be dangerous for your health. And what if there are many other bottles which have 'mistakes' in them? The sooner you contact them, you are saving more lives. Anyway, let's hope that your bottle was the only one mistake, and the pill contained the same ingredient.

Staring at a computer screen for too wrong... reading for too long... not getting enough sleep... putting the music on my headphones up too loud... I have a bit of one right now, but I can't say bye to my music! There's always Tylenol... :-)

If I were you I would go to your local library or on-line and read in the Physicians Desk Reference. It will list everything you want to know, such as dosage, uses, ingredients and adverse reactions. If you do not fully understand go to your local pharmacist. After you have this knowledge go to your pediatrician and have a long conversation. They will not answer your questions until you ask them. Please ask why she needs her teeth pulled at such a young age. If your doctor or pharmacist doesn't take the time you need then find another one.

The Rx messed up yes by not removing the old lable or if the old lable was not able to come off they must black it out. It is a concern and let the Rx manager know, it will be noted. Legal actions taken towards the Rx by reporting them to the Foods and Drug adminastration would not change a mistake, Id guess it was a simple mistake thats all.

Stop, think, then choose Tylenol!

If you have 500 milligram caplets of store-brand or other generic acetaminophen, find the batch number on the label of the container. A list of recalled batch numbers is at www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perrigo/perrigobatchlist.html.\n\nFor other help, the toll-free consumer affairs phone number of the manufacturer, Perrigo, is (877) 546-0454.\n\nHow can I tell if I've already taken a contaminated caplet?\n\nA The most likely consequences are minor stomach discomfort or cuts in the mouth or throat, the FDA says. "The probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," it said.\n\nAny adverse reactions should be reported to Perrigo at (877) 546-0454, and also the FDA's MedWatch program at (800) 332-1088, or by fax at (800) 332-0178 or online at www.fda.gov/medwatch.\n\n\n\nIf you have a recalled bottle, call the Perrigo number for further instructions.\n\nQ Which stores are affected?\n\nA The FDA lists Perrigo's customers at www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perrigo/perrigocustlist.html. They include Kroger, CVS, Wal-Mart, Meijer and SuperValu, which supplies Cub Foods. The Associated Press reports also lists Walgreens, based on financial records. These stores typically sell Perrigo products under their store's name brand.

Those are product names. \n\n"Legally, trademark names should not be the name of the product itself, only to designate origin of the product. A classic example is Tylenol (R). If you look through a drug store, you will find that the company had registered Tylenol (R) as a trademark. The produce that you purchase, however is not TYLENOL (R), but instead one of many products, such as TYLENOL (R) Cold and Sinus Medicine, or TYLENOL (R) Pain Relievers. In most of these products, the generic name is acetaminophen. This is akin to putting the cultivar name in single quotes beside the marketing name. Trademark names cannot not belong to a particular item or plant, no matter how many times the owner of the trademark tries to convince you otherwise. The two most commonly known examples of trademarks being invalidated because of this are Aspirin and Escalator."

Liver failure from overdosing on tylenol happens acutely, meaning that if it has been a month ago and it did not happen, it will never happen. You are ok.

acetaminophen 500 mg from Leiner Health Products.

Take 800mg of Ibuprophen.  That's prescription strength.  It is going to work better than Tylenol because it has an anti-inflammatory in it.
