What is Panadol Osteo? Is it an RX item or can you buy at drugstore? I live in USA so perhaps it is sold under another name.

I have found prescription gabapentin the best thing going for tingling pain or pins and needles.

There has been some talk here about acetaminophen being
a mild "anti-inflammatory".... I don't know if that is true, or just hype from the drug companies.

Your product is a long acting form of acetaminophen, which targets patients who have chronic pain like arthritis.

The problem with chronic use of this is toxicity to the liver.
In US the trend is to use LESS acetaminophen rather than "more".

My GP gave me this for numbness. I actually am not in pain a ymore. Remember this past March I was in a car accident and got whiplash? I had a bad PN flare that lasted months due to a bulging thoracic disc that was aggravated. Suddenly in November all the back pain went away and I just started getting migrating numb spots all over. Very weird because I don't have pain anymore. I just have this numbness now and supposedly the panadol osteo was suppose to be helping that.

Thank you

The new "safe" limits are 3000 mg / day (lowered from 4000 mg / day). The six-hour "safe" limit of 1000 mg within any six hour period is supposed to change early this year, but I haven't seen anything yet.

Some folks will still need to take acetaminophen on a regular basis. For those people, liver toxicity from acetaminophen may be averted/countered by taking N-Acetyl cysteine - 750 mg. twice a day.
