Whats the maximum dose of Tylenol Extra Strength - 500mg Tables I can take?


Question:
I took 11 of them. I'm 6'4" and 220lbs if thats important.

Answers:
For an adult the maximum amount of recommended Tylenol in one day is 4000 mg or 8 pills. You took 5500 mg, 11 pills. Tylenol toxicity can be dangerous because that med is metabolized in the liver. The bottles instructions should warn against this. The antedote is this horrible smelling/tasting medicine called mucomyst.

Other Answers:
If you need more than two, and the pain is as extreme, you should call your physician/dentist immediately. (Dentist if it's a toothache of some sort)

You should probably call your local poison control center ASAP. Even at your weight, that amount could cause liver damage, especially if you took them all at once. Did you take them for pain relief, or are you trying to harm yourself?
