<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Maximum Dose
The maximum daily dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) for an adult is 4,000 mg, and 90 mg per kg in children. The regular strength Tylenol pill contains 325 mg, and the extra strength tab contains 500 mg. An adult can consume 8 maximum strength tabs of Tylenol in one day.
On the Other: Presence in Other Medications
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is present in a number of over the counter medications, including cough and cold medications, headache medications and specific pain relievers. It is also present in some prescribed medications. Check the ingredients in all medications you are taking to determine how much acetaminophen is being consumed. Consult with a pharmacist if you have any questions.
Bottom Line
The maximum safe daily dosage of Tylenol for an adult is 4,000 mg. Exceeding this amount can cause liver damage. Since Tylenol and acetaminophen are found in a number of prescription and over the counter medications, consult with a doctor or pharmacist to verify that you are not exceeding the maximum dosage for your age. Use caution with Tylenol if you have any liver disease.
