Even if you wait until 8pm and take two tablets (bringing your total to 8 in the 24-hour period from 8am), you cannot take an additional two at midnight. That would mean 10 tablets in 24 hours, exceeding the maximum of 8 tablets stated in the guidance.\n\nIf your headache is still going tomorrow, the excerpt provides no specific instructions for ongoing symptoms. It only warns: “Never take more than 8 tablets in 24 hours” and “If you take too much paracetamol, get medical help straight away, even if you feel well.” You must not exceed the recommended dose.",
