== == Easily Tylenol/Acetaminophen/Paracetamol can be overdosed on. For average size adults, greater than 4g in 1 day will be toxic and more than this has been indicated to cause severe liver toxicity and liver failure. Never exceed the recommended amount stated on the back of the medicine box. If overdose is suspected even if no simptoms appear you must immediately call your Poisons information center, Doctor or Pharmacist. Don't take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) with other acetaminophen products. You could exceed the recommended limits and cause liver failure. Acetaminophen is in many cough and cold products and sleep aids, and is an ingredient in many prescription pain relievers. You don't want to overdose. Parents should be cautious when giving acetaminophen to children. For example, the infant drop formula is three times more concentrated than the children's suspension. It's important to read drug labels every time you use a drugand to make sure that your child is getting the children's formula and your infant is getting the infants' formula.

∙ 13y agoAlmost any medication can be taken to excess. (After all, even water, imbibed to excess, can reduce the body's sodium level to the point at which seizures, coma and death may occur.)
Tylenol (acetaminophen) can damage the liver, when taken in excess. If untreated, liver damage can progress to the point that life becomes unsustainable.
If contemplating overdose, seek counseling. If this is an emergency, call 911.
