Greetings!

Thank you for your question. The maximum dose for paracetamol is 4000 mg for an adult taken every 4 hours. Since you have taken more than the suggested amount, you are advised to visit the nearest hospital for observation. Look out for symptoms of overdose:

• Diarrhea
• increased sweating
• loss of appetite
• nausea or vomiting
• stomach cramps or pain
• swelling, pain, or tenderness in the upper abdomen or stomach area
