∙ 13y agoParacetamol is another name for Acetaminophen which is Tylenol. Sudafed Cold and Sinus contains Acetaminophen and Pseudoephedrine. The recommended dose is stated on the label on the back of the product.
The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day otherwise you can damage your liver. So be careful of that. And remember that pseudoephedrine can raise your blood pressure so ask the pharmacist before you ask for this product.

Can you take Zyrtec with panadeine?
Both Panadeine and Sudafed contain paracetamol, so if you took a full dose of each together you would be exceeding the recommended paracetamol dose. I suppose if you really wanted the effects of both pills you could take a half dose (one tablet) of each.
What are the dangers of paracetamol?
Generally the biggest danger of paracetamol (acetaminophen, Tylenol) is the potential of liver damage if taken incorrectly. The recommended maximum daily dose in the United States and the UK is 4,000mg, taken in 1,000mg doses 4 times a day (every six hours). Since it affects the liver, it is recommended to not drink alcohol with paracetamol because it can increase the potential for liver damage. The recommended daily dose has been recently discussed and the FDA may recommend a lower dose soon. I'm unsure what the recommendations are in Europe, but the potential health effects are certainly the same.
