A member asked:
If i take more than the maximum daily amount of pills (such as acetaminophen) will i just over dose or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acetaminophen: Over 4000 mgs. (4gms) causes a abnormal metabolite to form which is hepatotoxic. In other words don't take over 4 gms chronically or you may be poisoned or even die of liver failure.
