Paracetamol dose: teenagers

Can anyone tell me what the safe dose is for a 14yo?

It looks as if it could be adult dose (2x 500mg a time - ie up to 4 6+ Fast Melts), but wanted to check whether I've understood properly.

Thanks for any help.

It's 750mg every 4-6 hours

It used to be 1g but they altered all the dosages recently for children.
