Toxicology
Acetaminophen overdose occurs when a person ingests a quantity of acetaminophen that exceeds the recommended therapeutic dose, leading to potentially severe liver damage. It is a common form of poisoning, often resulting from unintentional misuse of over-the-counter medications, which can overwhelm the liver's ability to metabolize the drug safely.
