“What is the time gap I should maintain before taking another Tylenol pill?”
I'm feeling under the weather and am currently taking Tylenol, which seems to be helping. How long should I wait before taking another Tylenol?

Tylenol is dosed in a variety of ways—regular or extended release, and a variety of doses. Read the labels and follow the directions.
Do you feel tired or thirsty? Or even not thirsty. Try drinking a glass of water first before reaching out any Tylenol or any pill.

Hi, Your vague symptoms of "feeling under the weather" and taking Tylenol to make you feel better would be good if you knew what you were treating. Yes, there is a dosing regime for Tylenol, but it would be good if you saw your doctor and let him have a go at your diagnosis and treatment.
This should be printed on the bottle - always read your medications! Tylenol dosage is every 4 hours and you should not exceed a total of 4000mg in any given 24-hour period. The maximum may be lower if you have any medical problems that affect your liver.
You can take 1-2 pills of tylenol every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Maximum of 10 pills per day.
You should wait 4-6 hours between doses of Tylenol. Do not take more than 4000 mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen) in 24 hours.
Between 4-6 hours
All Tylenol products are dosed every 4-6 hours. It is important that you recognize the strength of the particular acetaminophen (Tylenol) tablet that you are taking, as they do come in different strengths. You should try NOT to exceed a maximum daily dose of 3250 mg, as higher doses can be harmful to your liver. While there is a maximum daily dose, the dosing interval remains every 4-6 hours.
