A member asked:
How many acetaminophen would cause liver damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eight plus: Most Acetaminophen pills are 500 mg. The generally accepted rule of thumb is that more than 4 grams (4000 mg) is likely to injure the liver. Thus a person should not exceed eight Acetaminophen pills per day. Less is even better.
