Go to the ER: Acetaminophen overdose is a serious medical issue and a true medical emergency. There is no home remedy, and acetaminophen overdose can lead to hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. The liver failure rate is as high as 50% without prompt and proper treatment. Patients who overdose on acetaminophen should seek immediate emergency medical treatment. Hope this helps!
