Acetaminophen (Tylenol) – general adult dosing | Dose | Frequency | Max per 24 hrs | |----------|---------------|--------------------| | 500 mg (½ tablet) | Every 4–6 hours as needed | 4 000 mg (4 g) | | 1 000 mg (tablet) | Every 6–8 hours as needed | 4 000 mg (4 g) | Don’t take more than 4 g in any 24‑hour period. If you need more pain relief, do not double the dose or use it more often than every 4 hours. --- Key points to remember 1. Check other meds – acetaminophen is in many cold/flu, headache, and postoperative pain medicines. Adding another product that contains it can easily exceed the 4 g limit. 2. Alcohol & liver – drinking alcohol, especially regularly, can increase the risk of liver damage. Keep total daily intake (including other sources) well below 4 g. 3. Pregnancy & kids – dosing is weight‑based and should be discussed with a healthcare professional. 4. Signs of overdose – nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dark urine, or confusion should prompt a call to a poison control center (1‑800‑222‑1222 in the U.S.) or emergency services. --- If you’re unsure (e.g., you’re on other meds, have liver disease, or are pregnant), or if you need a dose adjustment (e.g., for chronic pain, post‑operative care), talk to a pharmacist or your healthcare provider. They can confirm the right amount and timing for your situation. --- This information is for general guidance only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
