And I have the answer
"But is it dangerous to take 3000 mgs."
Yes. Everything you ingest, be it food, soda, water.... or hydrocodone w/ APAP ("APAP" is acetamenophen), must pass through the liver, a vital organ which processes and detoxifies the substance before entering your bloodstream. Repeated dosings of 3,000 mg acetaminophen can damage this organ because it is 3 times the amount considered safe.
Further, the damage is cumulative and often causes hepatic (liver) complications that are painful and irreversible.
As indicated (for pain), there is no evidence that more than 1,000 mg at a time will "work better."
Be careful and safe Shalena. Acetamenophen is highly toxic when regular consumption is too high.
