A member asked:
Due to strong over dose of medicines i am having stomach pain. can i use anesthetic antacid gel. my age is 18 years?

Not good idea. Call: your PCP, and let the office know what you took and defer to their recommendations for you, as some meds are more irritating than others. Some have easy remedies, and others have other things you can take that can bind up the meds in your gut, so it passes in your poop.Anesthetic antacid get can potentially make it worse, by increasing more acid production, and you'll have more pain.So call first!
