> To be absolutely clear, the maximum recommended dose is 4000mg over 24 hours. That’s eight extra strength pills. It's also included as a secondary ingredient in a lot of other medicines, which makes it easy to take more than you thought. Additionally, other common drugs (like alcohol) use the same metabolic pathways, so they can dramatically lower the safe limit for acetaminophen. When you look at the rate of death and serious injury due to overdose, acetaminophen comes out very badly. The only medicines that kill more are opioids.
