What Are The After Effects Of Tylenol Overdose?

I have accidently taken 4 Tylenol. I took 2 at 11 am and took another 2 at 2 pm forgeting about my ealien dosage. They are extra strength. I weigh 260 pounds so I m pretty sure this Tylenol dosage is not enough to make me OD. I ate some food after taking the later two Tylenol in hopes I wouldn t have the 4 Tylenol in my system on an empty stomach. Do I have any need to be concerned?

Hello,
Overdoses of tylenol can cause liver problems but I do not think you had a large enough dose to cause damage. Try to avoid taking too much of this medication in the future. If you develop abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting see a doctor right away.
