"FDA Advisory Panel Recommends Banning Vicodin and Percocet

Why ban Vicodin and Percocet?

An FDA advisory panel recently recommended banning Vicodin and Percocet – two of the most popular painkillers available – due to concerns about the amount of acetaminophen in the drugs." UNQUOTE

As a total layman at this, I feel somewhat vindicated that I have been harping at my family that we, including yours truly, should stop popping Tylenol and other painkillers in quantity every time the wind changes direction or when someone gets a mild headache or sports injury, mild or serious. After surgery for the management of intense pain? No problem. But not at the slightest whim.

I based it on my feeling that even the day to day milder chemical painkillers are just not good for us. How many Tylenols, or similar medication, does the average American take over a lifetime? I'd hate to guess. There is no hint of such side-effects with BIEL's ActiPatch that I used and since BIEL already has FDA approval for its doc prescribed device for post-op eye surgery - let's see - around the eye? close to the brain? to promote healing? And no side-effects? FDA approved? What's to figure out with the other BIEL devices?

Has anyone seen any sales projections from BIEL? I would love to know what the estimates might be if the FDA starts shutting down some of the chemical painkillers. Is the FDA powerful enough adminstatively or politically do order that or is it just nonsensical rhetoric on that website? And would members of the public even learn in such a manner that the FDA is considering such a concept, or what one of its Advisory Panels was recommending? In other words, is the article credible? If so, isn't it good news?
Thanks

The reason the FDA is considering changing their recommendations is that acetaminophen overdose is currently the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S.
