What is the largest single dose of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) one can take>?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) July 18th, 2010

The largest recommended Acetaminophen dose is two 500mg pills every 4 hours and a maximum of 2 grams in a 24 hour period, I believe. But if one is taking a single dose in a 24 hour period, what is the largest dose a healthy adult, say 160 lbs. and with good liver function can safely take?
