The maximum recommended dose of Panadol (paracetamol) for adults is 4000 mg per day , which typically corresponds to 8 tablets of 500 mg each taken throughout the day. The usual dosage is 500 mg to 1000 mg every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 8 tablets in 24 hours, and taking care to leave at least 4 hours between doses. It should not be combined with other paracetamol-containing products to avoid overdose. Children have different dosing rules based on age and weight, and it is important to follow those specifically.
