Brief Answer:
up to 4 grams per day
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
the highest acceptable dosage for acetaminophen is 4 grams per day (divided in 4-8 doses). Oxycodone-acetaminophen (paracetamol) 10-325 means that there are 10mg of oxycodone and 325mg of acetaminophen. Each dose shouldn't be more than 1 gram.
Acetaminophen alone is not as potent as the combination with oxycodone.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
Kind Regards!
