Tylenol (acetaminophen) can generally be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed. However, it is important not to exceed 5 doses in 24 hours. For adults, the maximum daily dose is typically 4,000 mg, but this may be lower depending on individual health factors. Always follow the specific dosing instructions on the product and consult a healthcare provider if unsure.

- Repeat dose every 4 to 6 hours as needed while symptoms last.
