Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have been advised to take a 1000mg dose of paracetamol for pain relief. Can you please elaborate on the safety of this dosage?
Answered by Dr. D. Naga Satishbabu Doguparthy
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Taking 1000mg of paracetamol is generally safe, with a maximum daily dose of 3000mg, taken every 8 hours with a 1000mg dose. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and not exceed the maximum daily dose to avoid the risk of liver damage. If you have any concerns or are unsure about the appropriate dosage for your condition, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
Thanks
