Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Poisoning Treatment

Self-Care at Home

If you or a member of your household has taken or may have taken an overdose of acetaminophen, take quick action.

• If the person is unconscious or not breathing, call 911 immediately for emergency medical services.
  
  
• If the person is awake and breathing without symptoms, call your local poison control center or the American Association of Poison Control Centers at (800) 222-1222.

The following information is helpful for both medical personnel and a poison control center:

• All medication that the person has taken, both prescribed and unprescribed (have the bottles close)
  
  

• All medications that are available in the house, prescribed and unprescribed
  
  
• The time that the person took the medication
