It kills you actually it depends how much you take
326 people die each day from paracetamol od.
i dnt think so
Yes, if too much is taken. An extreme overdose of paracetamol is an extremely unpleasant death. It affects your organs and after an extreme overdose if not seen to by a medic within a certain time there is nothing even they can do for you and it it is a very slow, painful, unpleasant death.
Any time one takes more paracetamol than prescribed they risk overdose. If you think you have overdosed seek medical attention right away.
If you have taken more than the prescribed dosage of paracetamol you are already at risk of overdose. If you have taken more than the suggested dosage on the packet, contact your doctor right away.
Opinion only:Parvolex is distributed by UCB Pharma Ltd (UK) and is used for the treatment of a paracetamol over dosage and is a solution for infusion for intravenous use. It is a derivative of a naturally occurring amino acid which protects the liver from damage following a paracetamol over dosage.
Call the emergency services quickly stating the amount and any other stimulants maybe taken along with them.
You can certainly overdose on paracetamol. Always read the label or follow your doctors instructions.
No, if it did you would overdose if you took any more. The drug is metabolized by/in the liver.
Yes Diclofenac can be used as an adjuvant treatment with Paracetamol to reduce pain. They can be used together for up to 48 hours, after that it is reccommended that Paracetamol use be discontinued to avoid it building up in your system. For the same reason you also must not exceed one paracetamol tablet in every 4-6 hours and stay within the daily maximum dose of 4g. There are no interactions between the drugs to worry about but confusion can be caused because Diclofenac can be used long term and Paracetamol cannot, and so if someone believed they could take the two together long term, or simply got used to taking the two together by habit, then they would cause a paracetamol overdose.
If you overdose on it you can become seriously ill, even die. Also, if you take paracetamol more than neccesary, you may become addicted.
