The maximum number of Tylenol tablets you can take depends on the strength of the tablet:

  • For Tylenol with 325 mg of acetaminophen per tablet, you can take 2 tablets every 4-6 hours, but not to exceed 10 tablets in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor.
  • For Tylenol with 500 mg per tablet (Extra Strength), adults can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours, but no more than 6 tablets in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor.
  • The general maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is 4,000 mg for most adults, but some recommend not exceeding 3,000 mg to avoid liver damage.
  • Always follow the dosing instructions on your specific Tylenol product and consult a healthcare provider if unsure or if you have liver issues or other health concerns.

If you specify the dosage strength of your Tylenol (such as 325 mg or 500 mg), I can provide more precise dosing guidance.
