Yikes, 80k overdoses per year which can result in stomach lining damage?

Are some medicines not worth the downside for society to have available?

The wiki doesn't cite a source that I see. But I looks like that may be recent misinformation

No, that bizarre 100K number is the misinformation, but Tylenol overdose is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the US, and accidentally kills 150 people a year (and another 400-500 people who intend to overdose.) The number of people who overdose without death is far more, and a potentially lethal dose is only about 3 times the effective dose.
