The old recommendation was no more than 4000 mg per day for healthy adults (good kidneys and liver). This is 8 extra strength tablets or 12 regular strength tablets per day. The FDA Advisory board has recommended decreasing this, and the FDA will probably do so. Keep in mind that acetaminophen (the active ingredient of Tylenol) can be found in other pain killers and cold and sinus medications. Check for it if you are taking Tylenol with other medications.

∙ 11y agoTaking Tylenol according to the directions on the package is pretty close (some might say dangerously close) to the maximum. The recommended dose is 4000 mg daily (for adults); 6000 mg daily is really pushing it. This would be 12 "extra-strength" tablets.
It's not a coincidence that acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the US.
