A member asked:
Are tylenol (acetaminophen) side effects different for the elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower dose: The maximum dose for Acetaminophen has gotten lower over the years, as there has been more liver problems related to it, at even what we though were 'safe' doses. The maximum dose is 2.4 gms a day and probably less for someone that is frail or who drinks alcohol(.
