Comment on What's good in small concentrations, but lethal in higher? What's a glaring red flag you're encroaching on a lethal concentration?

Panadol / Paracetamol / Tylenol / Acetaminophen / C8H9NO2 is exceptionally easy to overdose on. I've done it accidentally a couple of times. It causes liver damage at even lower overdoses, you really don't want that.

The maximum dosage is 1g every 4 to 6 hours, maximum total 4g a day. I am no doctor but I strongly recommend 6+ hours between doses (I set a timer) and I try very hard to not get to 3g or above per day. It's even worse that plenty of medications just throw it in to the mix casually.

Unfortunately as the only first line of defence I have against pain, I cannot avoid it altogether.
