A member asked:
My friends took 16 paracetamols (500mg) at once 4d ago and felt headache so he took 10 in course of three days , sporty non alcoholic. is he ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Someone who is ok would not take this quantity of paracetamol. Most likely toxic effects of paracetamol will be limited but for sure he needs to be assessed to determine what prompted this behavior in the first place.
