read the back of the bottle! And you just don't have to worry about how much to take a day, you also aren't supposed to take more than a certain amount during a certain period, i.e. you can't take the max 24 hr dose within the time frame of an hour. I think it's 1-2 pills per 4-8 hours (I can't remember exactly). And acetaminophen can damage your liver, so don't overdose! I don't know what you are taking it for, but also, I have found that advil (ibuprofen), works better!

Total Hip replacement surgery has become very common nowadays. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.

No more than 4000mg in 24 hrs. Remember though that many other meds also contain Tylenol aka acetominophen so read the lable to be sure you aren't getting to much pain medication.

The tylenol package itself gives you the maximum dosages. Read it. If you are taking other pain killers, like vicodin or norco, hydrocodone or oxycodone, you should not be taking additional tylenol as it could cause your liver to fail. Check with your doctor. He should know all of the prescription and non-prescription meds you are taking to keep you safe.
