Associated Press, "FDA Seeks liver, Stomach Warnings for Painkillers"

           U.S. health officials on Tuesday proposed new warnings about liver and stomach risks on the labels of over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Products containing acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol, should come in packaging that highlights the potential for liver damage, particularly when taking high doses or drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, the FDA said in its proposal.
           Other over-the-counter drugs called NSAIDs should carry prominent warnings about a risk of stomach bleeding in certain patients. They include people who are over age 60, are taking a blood thinner or have had prior ulcers or stomach bleeding. The NSAID warning also should say the stomach risk exists when patients ingest more than one NSAID, drink a moderate amount of alcohol or take the product for longer than directed, the FDA said. NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and ketoprofen.
