The maximum dose is 4 g (4000 mg); this would be equivalent to 8 extra strength tablets.
Although long term use at this dose is common in the UK, it can cause serious liver damage over decades of use.
It should be noted this is the advised maximum. Lethal doses are considered to be between 6000 mg and 10000 mg depending on one's own liver conditions. If you drink, I would be very cautious with Tylenol and only take when necessary because of the damage the two can cause together.
An alternative for those with impaired liver function (alcohol, liver disease, etc.) would be Advil (ibuprofen), or Aspirin (ASA). They have their own cautions, such as ASA is hard on the stomach, but it would be a definite consideration for those who cannot afford being hard on their livers with Acetaminophen.
4 grams/day is the maximum amount. That is equivalent to 8 extra strength (500 mg/tablet) Tylenol tablets.
Adults should not take more than 1 gram (1000mg) at a time.
The FDA released a statement on June the 30th recommending lowering the maximum dose to 3000 gm per day.

My doctor (a USAF Physician) gave me the answer recently. It's 4,000mg, or the equivalent of EIGHT "extra strength" (500mg) tablets in either the generic or brand name product. I have since confirmed this dosage from various sources over theInternet Please consult your OWN physician, for a definitive answer for you, personally.
Adult dosages are generally 500 to 1000 milligrams, with the latter as a maximum. Also, there is a recommendation that 4 grams (4000 milligrams) is the maximum daily dose. Note that the stated dosage is for adults. This (and almost every other medication) should be given in dosages proportional to body weight. If a small, say, 90-pound adult, is taking paracetamol, a 500 mg tablet would probably be best. A 250-pound furniture mover might want to take 1000 mg for pain. It is critical to look at the tablets to see how many milligrams of the active ingredient is in each one. For children, there is a way to calculate dosage in accordance with body weight, and a link below will take you to one such online calculator. This will allow you to discover dosage for a given body weight. Calculate well, and be sure to translate this information with utmost accuracy to breaking up the tablets to dispense them. Note! It is your responsibility to read directions on every package of medication you are taking. You should be aware of recommended dosages and also of contraindications that provide guidelines to avoid mixing medications. And is it your responsibility to be doubly sure of all the required information if you are dispensing this medication to others, particularly children. Be smart about this and do the right thing.

What are the dangers of paracetamol?
Generally the biggest danger of paracetamol (acetaminophen, Tylenol) is the potential of liver damage if taken incorrectly. The recommended maximum daily dose in the United States and the UK is 4,000mg, taken in 1,000mg doses 4 times a day (every six hours). Since it affects the liver, it is recommended to not drink alcohol with paracetamol because it can increase the potential for liver damage. The recommended daily dose has been recently discussed and the FDA may recommend a lower dose soon. I'm unsure what the recommendations are in Europe, but the potential health effects are certainly the same.

Both Panadeine and Sudafed contain paracetamol, so if you took a full dose of each together you would be exceeding the recommended paracetamol dose. I suppose if you really wanted the effects of both pills you could take a half dose (one tablet) of each.
