A multicenter study found that the maximum daily OTC dose of acetaminophen (4000mg) was as effective as prescription doses of naproxen (750mg) for osteoarthritis pain relief. The study involved 551 patients with mild-to-moderate OA and showed no significant differences in efficacy between the two treatments over a six-month period.

The study's findings suggest that consumers can safely take higher doses than recommended, but emphasize the importance of adhering to the standard daily limit.
A randomized, double-blind study found a significant reduction in symptom severity and duration when treating with zincum gluconicum nasal gel, even at 48 hours after illness onset. The treatment significantly shortened the median duration of cold symptoms by 4 days compared to placebo.
