Can Overdose Of Tylenol Be Safely Taken For Back Pain?

For ongoing back pain, I have been taking Tylenol (500mg) 1 tablet twice a day, about 6 hours apart. My Dr. said I could use Tylenol, but I did not exactly find out if regular or extra strength. Due to the FDA notices, of no more than 325mg per tablet, should I use 1/2 each period until further evaluated. Thank you

Hi,
If normal Tylenol does not work then you can take one and a half tablet.
Take this tablet on full stomach or with Rantac or Omeprazole tablet.
Ok and take care.
