What About Liver Failure Caused by Paracetamol?

Question by Vladek: What about liver failure caused by paracetamol?
I recently started to take paracetamol pills ’cause I was ill, and now while I looked it up, it apparently is really dangerous, and your liver will “die” or “fail” or w/e you wanna call it if OD-ed.

Apparently as little as 10grams can be lethal, but how long does it take to actually die from “liver failure”(I guess that’s what you die from) without any medical attention. And how painful is it? What would it feel like? Are the symptoms obvious?

Best answer:

Answer by Jabel
Sticking to the recommended dosage for a short time is unlikely to harm you – unless you have a specific sensitivy to it.
How long it takes to die depends on how much damage – short or long time it is not pleasant and you would feel very ill indeed and be jaundiced (yellow)
