Taking too much paracetamol, known as an overdose, can be very dangerous. Some people feel sick, vomit or have abdominal (tummy) pain after taking too much paracetamol, but often there are no obvious symptoms at first. How much you can take depends on your age, your weight, the type of paracetamol you're taking and how strong it is. For example: adults can usually take 1 or 2 500 mg tablets every 4 to 6 hours, but shouldn't take more than 4g (8 500 mg tablets) in the space of 24 hours. Children under 16 need to take a lower dose, depending on their age or weight.
