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