Overview
We can find a better practice for reducing the rate of hospitalization from OTC acetaminophen consumption. First, we researched over-the-counter acetaminophen and its current overdose rate. Then we interviewed a pharmacist and created a survey about how adults use acetaminophen. From the results, we conducted experiments on different pill types, most being acetaminophen. Lastly, we surveyed anonymous adults about their opinions of acetaminophen and if they would be in agreement on some packaging changes.
