Max pain reliever per day

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more than 56,000 people visit the emergency room each year due to an overdose of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in popular pain relief drugs like Tylenol. The major reason for an acetaminophen overdose is because people do not pay close attention to their daily dose of the drug. So, the FDA recommends you take no more than 8 extra-strength pills (4,000 milligrams) per day.
