Question 1

i think i took 4 tylenol pm pills instead of 2 when i was getting ready for bed.  is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol overdose: It depends on when you had your last dosage, the current state of your liver, and the number of milligrams you took. 4 Grams within 24 hours is concerning. If you feel weak, nauseous, and have abdominal pain you should definitely get yourself 
evaluated as soon as possible. You should follow up with your physician regardless. Following directions as prescribed is crucial to preventing an overdose.

Question 2

i took 4 tylenol pm and 2 melatonin 10 mg in a3 hour time frame. can i go to sleep and be okay. i didnt realize more than 2 tylenol was a problem in 34 hrs. no scared to fall asleep?

Accepted Answer

: If you do not have problems of alcohol and liver disease, though you have taken high dose of Tylenol pm, it is not going to cause any major problem. You can sleep. Ask a family member or a friend to check on you by phone or in person in 4 hours. Hope it helps.

Question 3

my 18 daughter accidentally took 4 500mg tylenol (acetaminophen). it's the only thing she has taken all day. does she need to see a dr?

Accepted Answer

Mgt: I would recommend seeing your physician or the ED. Does she have any symptoms currently? When did the ingestion occur? I would also suggest calling poison control.

Question 4

i accidentally took 4 - 500mg tylenol pm just a few minutes ago. i am 63, weigh 400lbs, and take several prescriptions, for high bp, cholesterol, and allergies. i have a stomach band so throwing up isnt an option, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Avoid any further Tylenol for next 24 hours.  Be aware that you might get drowsy.  Do not drive or operate heavy machinery.

Question 5

i took 4 extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) in 4 hours is that ok ?

Accepted Answer

Not ok: Directions state:  "take 2 caplets every 6 hours while symptoms last."  Take medications per directions unless your physician specifies differently. Take care.

Question 6

what to do if i just took 3 or 4 tylenol (acetaminophen) at once, is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Do not overdose on tylenol (acetaminophen) . Liver damage can occur. 

Take n acetyl cysteine to protect the liver against damage from tylenol (acetaminophen).

Question 7

what would happen if i took 4 500mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) extra strength?

Accepted Answer

Nothing one time: Probably nothing if taken one time , but bad to repeat it as you can cause liver disease.

Accepted Answer

Screening test: You may have a mild viral illness or a mild form of COVID 19. Please have a screening test. Stay home, rest, drink fluids and monitor your temperature. Use Tylenol if the T is 101 F or higher. Notify your PCP if you develop cough and/or shortness of breath.

pedi closed today, taking daughter tomorrow. she woke up fine but started to complain of a stomach ache. she had a normal poop. screams that it hurts when laying down to change diaper. has a fever of 102.8 but took tylenol 4 hours ago. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

: If pain persists and fever spikes high again after 6 hours of taking Tylenol, she should be seen by an urgent care doctor.

Question 10
