Acetaminophen is associated with liver failure, alcoholism, ethanol intoxication, hepatitis, liver damage, and malnutrition. Clinical and laboratory evidence of liver toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion. When calculating the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen, consider all sources of acetaminophen, including OTC.
