You can take Panadol (paracetamol) every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but you must leave at least 4 hours between doses. Do not take more than four doses in 24 hours. For adults and children 16 years and over, this typically means 1 to 2 tablets per dose, up to 4 times a day, with a maximum total of 8 tablets (each 500 mg) in 24 hours. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid the risk of serious liver damage. Also, do not take Panadol for more than a few days unless your doctor instructs you to do so. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. For children and specific formulations like liquid or suppositories, dosing varies by age and weight, so it is best to follow specific product instructions or a doctor's advice. In summary:
- Take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed
- Do not take more than 4 doses (8 tablets) in 24 hours
- Keep at least 4 hours between doses
- Do not use for more than a few days without medical advice
Always check the packaging or consult a pharmacist or doctor for precise guidance tailored to your situation.
