Average consumption is ~250mg annually. That's half of one tablet, which makes it 1/4 of a regular dose, and it's not entirely clear how much is retained and what the conversion ratio is. I wouldn't be surprised if other byproducts were more dangerous.
You're allowed to take 8 paracetamol tablets per day, which means it's safe to purge 16 YEARS worth of microplastics per day, assuming a 1:1 ratio of plastic to paracetamol and no other side effects.
Unless you convert an entire lifetime of microplastics in a day or two, the risk of overdose is essentially zero.
