The maximum recommended dose of Panadol (which contains paracetamol) for adults is typically 4 grams per day. This usually translates to a maximum of 8 tablets of 500 mg each in 24 hours, with at least 4 hours between doses. For 1 gram tablets, the maximum is 4 tablets in 24 hours. It is important not to exceed this dose to avoid risks such as liver damage. Here are some key points to consider:
- Adults can take 1 to 2 tablets of 500 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
- Do not take more than 8 tablets (4 grams) in 24 hours.
- Always leave at least 4 hours between doses.
- Avoid taking other products containing paracetamol at the same time.
- For children or specific cases, dosages differ and should be followed carefully.
This dosing recommendation is standard for Panadol and other paracetamol- containing products unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.
