A member asked:
Is 1500 mg tylenol (acetaminophen) too much for a non drinker weekend athlete for severe muscle pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tylenol (acetaminophen): The toxic dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) is 4000mg, or 4 grams, per day. 1500mg isn't too much as long as you aren't taking it all at once. You should only take at most 1000mg in a 4 hour time span. Taking too much tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause damage to your liver.

No: I would not take that high a dose all at once but it is fine over a 24 hour period.
