If you were to take 2 more later tonight and another 2 at midnight, you would reach a total of 10 tablets.

However, if you continue taking paracetamol tomorrow, you must strictly follow the same rules: take only 1 or 2 tablets at a time, up to 4 times in 24 hours, always leave at least 4 hours between doses, and never exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours. \n\n*(Note: If you have already taken more than the allowed limit, the excerpt states: \"If you take too much paracetamol, get medical help straight away, even if you feel well.\")*",
