Huh, looked this up as Acetaminophen is one of the only OTC painkillers I can take. I thought NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) sounded familiar and low and behold I already have some I've purchased as a supplement.

Anyone can buy this stuff, no need to make it sound like it's some controlled substance. I will say if I take to much Acetaminophen I'll just head to the hospital instead of winging it!

I was trying to keep it simple. Yes you can buy n-acetylcysteine but OTC versions can vary in purity and dosage and it's not the only treatment you might need. With an acetaminophen OD you really want to be in a hospital.
