A member asked:
Hi..i took three antihistamines by mistake when i was told to take only one at night. is this dangerous? each tablet is 120 gms

Likely Ok: Antihistamines have a high safety margin although the older antihistamines may have more side effects. It is unusual to have mistakenly taken 3 pills when most medication is based on 1 pill. You will have to be more careful in the future since other medications may not be as forgiving.
