I accidentally ended up swallowing a Bendax400 tablet, which I know is supposed to be chewable. I'm kinda worried now. Could you let me know if that's harmful, and what I should do next?

Swallowing a Bendax-400 tablet, which is meant to be chewed, is unlikely to cause significant harm, as the active ingredient, mebendazole, is an antiparasitic medication; however, to be cautious, drink plenty of water and monitor yourself for potential side effects like stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea;

I'm really anxious because I accidentally mixed red Harpic with some floor cleaning acid and then breathed in what tasted like a bitter breath. I found out that Harpic shouldn't be mixed with acid since it can release chlorine gas, but I only realized this after. It's been about 30 minutes since it happened and I don't feel any discomfort yet, but I'm worried since I read online that inhaling chlorine can cause pulmonary edema. I'm trying to get an appointment with a pulmonologist, but nothing's available right now. Do you think I need to see a doctor urgently for this, or is there something I can do right now to prevent any issues? I'm pretty worried, please help me.

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?

I'm really worried because my friend took 8 sleeping pills last night, which I know is more than the recommended amount, and she's still not waking up. Can you tell me what I should do?

Immediately call emergency services or rush your friend to the nearest hospital, as an overdose of 8 sleeping pills can be life-threatening; provide the hospital with the name and quantity of the pills taken, and try to keep your friend awake and moving until medical help arrives.
