Is 4900 of acetaminophen in one day to much?

[butterflykisses4u]

I had to add it up that is the amount my sister took today to try to get a migraine to go away because no prescription medicine in helping and the doctor has tried al ot. She seems fine but its near bedtime and was worried about her going to sleep what could happen with that much in one day? I worry to much I know just who I am. She is 28 btw.

HI,
I had a document from the FDA that said 2000mg was the max that should be take daily, but I can't find it and stand corrected on a post also I made I  took the Document to to my primary and had my meds changed. As the above statement  said it's 4000mg. For more information http://pharmacy.oregonstate.edu/drug_policy/pages/dur_board/evaluations/articles/APAP.pdf How ever the dosage is hi and and blood test should be often take for liver damage.

Good Luck ,

no more that 4000mg daily. To much more than that can be toxic!!!! please be careful......

no it is not you are only supposed to take 2400 mg. i think or maybe 4200 but i know it is not 4900 tyl. is the only thing i can take for pain that is over the counter.. so maybe she should go to the ER and they will give her a Shot to make the migraine go away.. this happens to me quit often.. well hope this help. but how ever i dont think this is enought to make her over does but i am not a doctor it all depends on her weight.. and stuff. well hope this helps.
