Toxic dose of paracetamol ( Acetaminophen ) is 7 gram . At this dose hepatotoxicity begins and there is only one way to stop it.
Using N-acetyl cystine during first 24 hours
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare complication of acetaminophen and only seen in patients with other GI disorders .

Stomoch bleeding isn't usually a symptom of acetaminophen overdose. It's a symptom of aspirin/ibuprofen/or naproxen overdose.
Liver damage is the most serious danger of acetaminophen poisoning.
