Hi Tommie,

From what I've read, the only thing that's changing as of 2014 is the amount of Acetaminophen that they put into those types of medications (i.e. Norco, Vicodin, Percocet, etc..) The new maximum allowed dose is supposed to be 325mgs, due to an increased risk of liver toxicity.

In my opinion, if something is really that toxic to your liver, we probably shouldn't be taking it anyways in any quantity.

There are plenty of other anti-inflammatory options on the market (both natural and prescription) that are considered to be much safer than Acetaminophen in that regard.

I hope this info helps to answer your question!
