The maximum recommended dosage for Extra Strength Tylenol (500 mg per tablet) is no more than 6 tablets (3000 mg) in 24 hours. This means taking 2 tablets every 6 hours while symptoms last without exceeding 6 tablets in total per day. Some sources indicate the maximum is 4000 mg (8 tablets), but the manufacturer has lowered the max dose for Extra Strength Tylenol to 3000 mg to reduce overdose risk. Always follow the label instructions and consult a healthcare professional if unsure or if symptoms persist longer than recommended.
