Tylenol is unveiling new maximum
dosage instructions for paracetamol or acetaminophen in the US. The new
instructions state a maximum total daily of 3,000 mg versus the old maximum of 4,000 mg. Additionally, it states to take the over the counter dosage every 6 hours instead of every 4 to 6 hours. These new instructions seem to be specific to their over the counter products not prescription medications.
