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 3

I've been bitten by a rat at my feet last night and noticed a wound this morning. I got the TT vaccine and the 0-day dose of Anti Rabies. Is there anything else I should do? Please help.

Accepted Answer

No you areon the right track,take complete course of vaccination of ARV

I accidentally got pricked by an iron object today, and there was some bleeding. I had a tetanus shot back on May 20, 2017. It's been just about four months since then. I'm wondering if I should get another tetanus shot today.

Ideally tatanus toxoid is to be taken within 6 hours of exposure. And once taken, it need not be taken against for 5 years. Since yours is just 4 months, you need not repeat the shot. Just take proper care of the wound.
