It's not possible to state an absolute toxic dose in milligrams for everybody because it depends on things like your body mass, the preexisting condition of your liver, whether other liver-damaging drugs are on board, etc.
In my case I was talking about 500 mg tablets which are commonly branded in the US as "Extra Strength Tylenol."
The point I was trying to make is that the deadly dose divided by the therapeutic dose for acetaminophen can be as small as 7. This is a much smaller ratio than for most other common over-the-counter drugs. There's not much room for error with acetaminophen.
