A member asked:
How long does it take for the liver to get rid of/break down tylenol? also is 500mg safe to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol & Toxicity: Tylenol can be safely used in the current formulations ranging from 325-650mg when dosed properly. Toxicity occurs with doses over 3,000-4,000 mg per day and will vary depending upon the health of the individual and their liver function. Metabolism varies from person to person but within 4-6 hours most has been metabolized, unless the liver has been presented with an overdose.
