Taken Tylenol For Toothache. How Often Can It Be Taken?

I just took 3x Tylenol 500mg around noon today and just now took 3x Tylenol 500mg for toothache pain.. my dentist is calling in a prescription for motrin 800mg but the pharmacy will not be open again until morning... I just checked the bottle for Tylenol and the recommended 24hr dosage is 3000mg.... the vicodin 5mg he prescribed today is not working... how bad will it be on my liver to take Tylenol again in a few hrs if needed at least until morning? theres no way I can take this pain until morning with nothing

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

This medicine contains paracetamol and relatively safe to use. Toxicity of every drug vary with individual response and other medical condition and other drugs which are used.

Paracetamol is relatively safe drug and dose of 2 to 3 gram per day rarely causes liver injury.

If you have toothache it requires some procedures like root canal treatment for control of pain and disease.

Please visit your Dentist as soon as possible to get proper treatment.

Hope this helps.
Take care
Good Luck.
