I took medicine that contains acetaminophen (mucus and sinus relief)how long can i wait to switch medication that also contains acetaminophenn dayquil?

4 hours minmum: First check to see if medication is long acting. If so, wait 6-8 hours if possible. Minimal time between different meds with same ingredient should be 4 hours. Do not exceed total of 3, 000mgs acetominophen per day.
