Dosage Recommendation Label

Health Care Logistics, Inc

Health Care Logistics introduces a pharmacy warning label designed to lessen the possibility of acetaminophen overdose and help ensure proper patient use of acetaminophen-containing products. The new prescription drug label reads "The recommended maximum dose of Acetaminophen is 3000 mg per 24-hour period." This recommended dosage change is in response to an FDA-imposed limit of 325 mg per dosage unit, which is intended to reduce the risk of severe liver injury from acetaminophen overdose, an adverse event that can lead to liver failure, liver transplant, and death. Red labels with white text are available 500 per roll, two rolls per package.
