Question 1

Overdose of Dolo 650mg - What would happen if someone took 10 Dolo 650mg tablets all at once? Is it really dangerous enough to cause death, and what other side effects should I be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Taking 10 Dolo 650 mg tablets (total 6,500 mg of paracetamol) at once is very dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Here's what happens:

🚨 Why It's Dangerous:
Liver Toxicity: Paracetamol in high doses overwhelms the liver, leading to acute liver failure.

Fatal Dose: A single dose above 7,000–10,000 mg can be lethal, especially without treatment.

⚠️ Symptoms to Watch For:
First 24 hours:

Nausea, vomiting

Sweating, general discomfort

Pale skin

24–72 hours:

Liver damage signs begin: right upper belly pain, dark urine, yellowing skin (jaundice)

72–96 hours:

Peak liver failure: confusion, bleeding, low blood sugar, coma or death

🆘 What to Do:
Immediate ER visit is critical.

Activated charcoal may be given early.

Antidote: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), most effective within 8 hours of overdose.

Bottom line: Yes, taking 10 tablets is potentially deadly. Immediate medical attention can save life and liver. Never delay if overdose is suspected.

Question 2

I've just taken about 100 ml of cough syrup, which means I've had 300 mg of dextromethorphan and 4000 mg of Guaifenesin. Is that dose okay, or should I be worried about any side effects or risks with that amount?

Accepted Answer

SOME DRYNESS OF MOUTH, DIZZINESS , SLEEPY SO TAKE REST,  NOTHING ELSE.
REST WILL SOLVE ALL PROBLEM.

Question 3

I took 4 tablets with paracetamol 300g, caffeine 25mg, and phenylephrine hydrochloride 5mg within an hour instead of the recommended 2 every 4-6 hours. I'm 15 and I'm really scared. Am I going to be okay? I had a stomach ache last night but it's fine nowjust having some heavy breathing issues.

Accepted Answer

don't worry no issue

Got a tetanus shot about 9 months ago because of an injury, but I got hurt again today. Do I have to get another tetanus injection, or am I still covered from the last one?

No, after the initial tetanus vaccination series, a booster shot is only required once every 5-10 years.
