What happens when you take too many Tylenol?

Answer 1

If you take too many painkilling pills, or other medication, you could become very ill; in extreme cases your life might be threatened.

It depends on the type of medication, the amount taken, and over what period of time. A sudden large overdose needs immediate, urgent medical attention.

Taking any medication over a long period, or regularly taking more than the prescribed dose, can also be seriously harmful. Always follow a doctor's advice about long-term treatment: just because you can buy something without a prescription doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to keep on taking over long periods.

Answer 2

When you overdose on painkillers, you'll start to feel drowsy, want to sleep, maybe you'll throw up or even pass out! If you really overdoes you'd could die because the pain killer blocks nerve impulses on pressure points of pain, if taken too much they will block more of the impulses and result in liver failure, hear failure and other organ failure. You will have to go to hospital to get your stomach pumped which is very painful, if you don't you'll die as the paracetamol will digest and stop more nerve impulses, and you'll die slowly and painfully.

Answer 3

Have you ever heard about surgery for a liver transplant? That is what you will have IF you are lucky and don't die first from an overdose. Acetaminophen is toxic to the liver and it doesn't take much more than the suggested dosage to do some real damage. And it is a slow and painful death, taking sometimes weeks.

Don't take any drugs that aren't prescribed for you and then not until you have researched them thoroughly and don't take more than the package says when using over the counter medicines. Relying on other people instead of doctors or pharmacists for information about medicines is a crapshoot, and testing drugs on yourself is stupid.

Do not take Tylenol with other acetaminophen products. Tylenol is acetaminophen and you might exceed the daily recommended limits if you combine them with other acetaminophen products. Acetaminophen is in many cough and cold products and sleep aids, and is an ingredient in many prescription pain relievers.

Parents should be cautious when giving acetaminophen to children. For example, the infant drop formula is three times more concentrated than the children's suspension. It's important to read drug labels every time you use a drug and to make sure that your child is getting the children's formula and your infant is getting the infants' formula.
