Acetaminophen, a killer???

An interesting article on the 10 deadliest drugs according to FDA records.

Acetaminophen comes in at an, ummm.... respectable (?!) 5th position. Oxycodone tops the list with little surprise, as this study could make no distinction between prescribed and unprescribed usage of the prescription painkiller. The article also points out that mild opioid drugs such as Darvon and Darvocet don't appear to be anymore effective than aspirin, yet have more severe adverse side effects, such as heart damage.

Did you know...

The Mexican government provides vasectomies to all male citizens free-of-charge, but outlaws elective abortion, with a 12-year prison sentence for both mother and father of an electively aborted fetus?

True fact.
