A member asked:
Hi doctors. how frequently is it safe to take tylenol 500mg for a headache over a 24 hour or 48 hour time frame?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Every 4 to 6h will keep the maximum dose at 3000 mg/24h. If you have known liver conditions that you know you suffer from, acetaminophen or Tylenol may no longer be safe for you.

Agree with Dr.P In addition to limiting the dose to less than 3-4 g/day, do not take alcohol while taking Tylenol. Wish you good health!
