Depends upon dose: Panamax is an australian & taiwanese brand of paracetamol, sold in states as Acetaminophen (brand name tylenol). Our fda limits max dose to just 4, 000mg/d while mcneil lowered max dose to just 3, 000mg/d and added new warning labels re liver failure. No more than 1, 000mg should be consumed no more than every 6hrs or so. Therefore, overdose risks liver failure (and death).

This person needs : Help. It is below the dose to be toxic to the liver but obviously the person needs mental health help and should be taken to the nearest hospital.
