When could it be taken again after those 10 days?

Because Tylenol can be toxic to your liver. It can cause serious and permanent damage to your liver if not taken properly. You should check with your doctor to see when it's ok again. If you have been taking it for 10 days straight, you should probably see your doctor anyway to find out what's wrong that you need to keep taking it and what other alternatives there are.

Long term use of Acetaminophen can cause liver damage. Switch off between Tylenol and Aspirin if you need to. Depending on where the pain is (headaches, for instance), you might need to see a doctor to find out the cause of it. Tylenol is not meant to be taken daily.

Because long term use or overdose can cause damage to the liver which can result in serious illness or death.
We had a teenage female patient once who committed suicide with an overdose of tylenol. What she didn't count on was that it took three months in the ICU for her liver and other organs to slowly shut down, while everything possible was being done to reverse the damage, and for her to finally pass away.

Over a long period of time, most pain medicines can build up in the body and cause negative effects. These are relatively mild and vary from person to person. Mainly the direction is on there because any chronic pain that lasts more than a week is a good sign of a more serious medical issue. One that should probably be diagnosed by a physician.

Yeah, after 10 days you gotta lay off for a while. Longer than overnight, a week or two cuz it can muck uop your insides.

I guess if you take it for too long it can cause damage to your body in some way.
As to part 2 of your question, my guess would be to find out that answer for sure, you should consult your doctor

i think if u use alot of tylenol it can hurt your liver.
I took too much advil and i got acid reflux and gastritis, it thins your stomach lining.
It is probably a disclaimer.

Excessive use could cause organ damage. If you need to take it for that long, you should see your doctor.

over time tylenol deteriorates the lining of your stomach and liver, so too much can cause ulcers and poisoning.
