WASHINGTON (AP) -- A pill designed to give people relief from headaches is instead causing them.
Consumers are having to read the fine print on bottles of acetaminophen to see if the ones in their medicine cabinet are being recalled because of possible contamination with metal.
Perrigo Co. said Thursday it was recalling 11 million bottles of acetaminophen after finding bits of metal, including portions of wire as long as one-third of an inch, in some of the 500-milligram pills it made.
In a related story,
history itself has not recalled the eon-old yoga posture, "Sirsasana," or "Headstand" as an indisputable and proven drug-free way to erase headaches and to impart countless glandular, organic, and emotional health over the course of a human life span.
Although some human's such as WF Students, see the obvious advantage of choosing yoga over pills to combat the queer stressors inherent to modern life in America, millions of others do not. When asked why they do not do yoga instead of becoming addicts to prescription and over the counter drugs, most replied,
"Yoga? Exercise? No thanks. That takes time and effort and well, I am far too busy for that."
