Brief Answer:
Yes, you can, but only for a shorter duration...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...

I can understand your concerns...

If you're looking for a onetime dose of extra strength Tylenol, the answer is yes, you can.

However, if considering round the clock intake you should not take more than three of extra strength Tylenol (each pack contains two of them, so it actually becomes six). You should not take it for a prolonged time duration (up to 3-4days is okay)...

And always ensure to take it after some food and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
