Tylenol (acetaminophen): Absolutely yes - if you take 7gm at once you will go into acute liver failure. Previous safe dose guidelines per fda was no more than 4gm per day, this has changed to about 2-2.5gm per day due to all the otc tylenol (acetaminophen) medications available and the concern over concurrent alcohol use as well.
