how many tylenol can i take

The maximum recommended dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) for a healthy adult is 4,000 mg in 24 hours. Typically, this translates to taking 1,000 mg per dose (for example, two 500 mg tablets) every 4 to 6 hours, but not exceeding 4,000 mg daily. For Tylenol extra strength (500 mg tablets), adults should not take more than eight tablets in 24 hours. It's important not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid risk of liver damage. If there are liver concerns or other health conditions, the maximum dose might be lower, and a healthcare provider should be consulted before use. Never take more than one product containing acetaminophen at the same time to avoid overdose.
