from heat and light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF THIS MEDICINE
and you are using it regularly, take it as soon as possible.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed

PRECAUTIONS:
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE or take

with your doctor. Exceeding the recommended dose or
taking this medicine for longer than prescribed may
be habit-forming. AVOID ALCOHOL while you are using

until you know how you react to this medicine. Using
this medicine alone, with other medicines, or with alcohol
may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other

may cause liver damage. If you drink alcohol on a daily
basis, do not take this medicine without first discussing
it with your doctor. Alcohol use combined with acetaminophen
may increase your risk for liver damage. Pain medications
work best if they are used as the first signs of pain
(or first signs of migraine) occur. If you wait until

may not work as well. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW
MEDICINE, either prescription or over-the-counter, check
with your doctor or pharmacist. FOR WOMEN TAKING BIRTH
