A member asked:
I sliced my finger how much tylenol (acetaminophen) can i take in a day and what dose?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Max 4 grams day. : That amounts to eight extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) (500 mg) tabs in 24 hours. You'll want to keep less than that if you drink alcohol, take other medicines or have liver injury. Less is more!

Stay under 4,000 mg: If you are taking it for only a few days or occasionally, then you can take up to 4, 000 mg/day. You can try 650 mg/every 4-6 hours. If you take it daily for longer periods, then the recommendation is to stay under 3, 000 mg/day.
