Doctor: You shouldn't take this one OTC pain med, it has a negative cumulative effect on the body's filtration system. Instead, here are new prescriptions for pain that won't actually reduce the pain level and now your body has to metabolize three new drugs as well. Oh and weight gain.

Another shameful capitulation by APA to the powers that be.
