An estimated 50 million Americans use acetaminophen each week to treat conditions such as pain, fever, and aches and pains associated with cold and flu symptoms. To help encourage the safe use of acetaminophen, the makers of TYLENOL® lowered the maximum daily dose for single-ingredient Extra Strength TYLENOL® (acetaminophen) products sold in the US from 8 pills per day (4000 mg) to 6 pills per day (3000 mg). The dosing interval also changed from 2 pills every 4 to 6 hours to 2 pills every 6 hours.
