A member asked:
I took a paracetamol 500 mg and accidentally took another of the same dose after 3 hours. now i'm not taking any after realising my mistake. will those two doses in a short period of time cause acute liver damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The maximum dose for paracetamol/acetaminophen/tylenol is 1000 mg every 6 hours, or a total of 4000mg in 24 hours. This drug has the potential to affect the liver if taken in excessive quantities beyond that.
