Gobbling Tylenol

Uh huh.

Gobbling means at least a good handful, right?

Acetaminophen has a rather steep curve where it gets toxic. A standard tablet is 500mg. I sometimes take a double at 1000mg, yet the daily recommended max dose is 4000, only four times that, after which toxic effects start coming. That's 8 tablets

This woman, if she exists at all, was likely "gobbling" a single tablet, which is pretty much harmless

Or, you know, the whole thing is made up. Because they’re liars.

if she exists at all

Think they covered that

No no, it's real. They even saw the baby in the placenta!

500 is the extra strength. 325 is regular strength

[-] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

In my country over 300 you need prescription, you could get 1000 without questions.

I used to take 1000 before, now I take 3*300

I wonder if the composition of Tylenol is different than Dafalgan, which is the equivalent "known" brand here. 500mg is normal, 1g is strong. There's a kids version though, would have to check what the box says.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Children's versions are often liquid form iirc.

Dosage levels probably vary widely between different places. Composition will change but the important part is the active/medical ingredients, the other stuff is just usually to prevent tampering or to make easier to take. Coated/non coated. Crush resistance or interference, possibly agents to reduce ingestion discomfort etc. how many mg of the active ingredient (acetaminophen is paracetamol) is usually the difference. Cutting pills in half is often just as good as taking a lower dose pill. Just depends on who needs it.

Think the general guideline is not to exceed 4000mg per 24h period ages 12+ though always read the medications guide lines

If it's acetaminophen then it's Tylenol equivalent

(acetaminophen is paracetamol)

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

theres a stronger one 625mg, its also otc.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

700+ for the pm ones because they are expecting you to sleep for 8 hours ish

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

A recommended dose is 1000mg, at least on every paracetamol pack I've ever seen.

Normally that's 2 x 500mg pills so you can give kids a half dose of one pill.

My money is on she really did pour Tylenol in her mouth but then stopped the video, and you know....spit them out.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 16 points 2 days ago

My money is on that there was no woman, no baby, no placenta, no Tylenol. Just gobbling.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago

Yea just RFK Jr. gobbling Trumps dick

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

[-] resting_parrot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

A standard tablet is 325mg. 500mg is the extra strength one.
