how much panadol can i take

The general recommended dosage of Panadol (paracetamol) for adults and children over 12 years old is 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 4000mg, which is typically up to 8 tablets of 500mg each in 24 hours. It is important to wait at least 4 hours between doses and not to exceed four doses per day. For safety, do not use other medications containing paracetamol simultaneously to avoid overdose, as high doses can cause serious liver and kidney damage. Self-treatment with Panadol should usually not exceed 3 days without consulting a doctor.
