For an adult or a child weighing more than 27kg: It is generally not necessary to exceed 3 grams of paracetamol per day (i.e. 3 scored effervescent tablets per day). However, if you have more severe pain, and only on the advice of your doctor, the total dose may be increased to 4 grams of paracetamol per day (i.e. 4 scored effervescent tablets per day).
NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 4 GRAMS OF PARACETAMOL A DAY (taking into account all medicines containing paracetamol in their formula).
