How much paracetamol can I take?
It's dangerous to take more than the recommended dose of paracetamol. This may damage your liver, which can be fatal (cause death).
The suggested dose of paracetamol for adults and children 12 years and over is:
- no more than 1g every 4 to 6 hours
- a total of 4g daily
Your liquid paracetamol medication will include detailed dosage directions on the package.
Fears that aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, might result in stomach bleeding, ulcers, and other significant adverse effects led to the rise in popularity of paracetamol in the 1960s. For many years, there was conflicting data supporting the theory that prolonged use of paracetamol might potentially result in internal bleeding, which aroused some worries.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even warned in 2013 that taking paracetamol may occasionally result in toxic epidermal necrolysis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (which can cause the top layer of skin to peel off the body), and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, three potentially fatal skin conditions.
