A member asked:
What should i do if i took roughly 8 tylenol (acetaminophen) and i woke up puking and feeling sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends. : The maximum daily amount of Acetaminophen (generic name of tylenol (acetaminophen)) is 4, 000 mg a day for your age (usually maximum of 3, 000mg a day for geriatric patients). So if you took 8 tablets of 500mg, then you are at about 4, 000mg and the symptoms you are having are not related to the tylenol (acetaminophen) but from an acute illness like the stomach flu or something similar.
