A member asked:

Hi. my 13 year old, 110 lbs may have taken 1325 or 1650 of acetaminophen. took theraflu max and acetaminophen. she just started on z-pack earlier?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrisome behavior: Adding up all the meds she reached about 1/3 of the toxic dose of acetaminophen if your estimations are correct. This could be confirmed by a blood test at the ER. At the very least she needs to be evaluated as an episode of overdose/self harm by a local treatment facility. Acetaminophen is a liver toxin in high doses and can result in liver failure & a slow horrible death.Please have her seen.
