A member asked:
If you accidentally take over 4g of paracetamol but under 5g should you be okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug toxicity: In adults, an acute ingestion of more than 150 mg/kg or 12 g of acetaminophen is considered a toxic dose and poses a high risk of liver damage (ref: google search). Pay attention to the medications you take and avoid "accidentally" taking more than is recommended.
