Hello Doctor,
I took 23,500 mg of Tylenol four days ago, but I haven’t experienced any symptoms. Should I be worried, or could something still happen?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Taking 23,500 mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a dangerously high dose and can cause severe liver damage, even if you’re not experiencing symptoms yet. Acetaminophen toxicity can sometimes have a delayed onset, and serious liver failure can develop over time. You need to go to the emergency room (ER) immediately and have your acetaminophen levels checked. The doctors may administer treatments such as activated charcoal (if within a certain timeframe) or N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which can help protect your liver. Do not wait for symptoms to appear liver damage can progress silently before it becomes life-threatening. Seek medical care now.
Thanks
