Excedrin Extra Strength contains acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. An overdose can occur if a person takes more than the recommended dosage, which is typically two caplets every six hours, not exceeding eight caplets in 24 hours. Taking significantly more than this, especially exceeding 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in a day, can lead to serious health risks, including liver damage. If an overdose is suspected, it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately.

If you receive the antidote within 4 hours of the last ingestion you may be able to ward off significant liver damage.
