how often can you take tylenol extra strength

Tylenol Extra Strength (containing 500 mg of acetaminophen per tablet) can be taken as 2 tablets every 6 hours while symptoms last. The maximum allowed dose is 6 tablets in 24 hours, unless directed by a doctor. It is important not to exceed this limit to avoid the risk of liver damage. If pain or fever persists beyond these guidelines, medical advice should be sought. This dosing applies to adults and children 12 years and over.
