I'm really worried because my flatmate accidentally took sorbitrate instead of her prescribed medicine for a UTI. She's only 22 and is now feeling dizzy. The sorbitrate she took was actually meant for her late grandfather. We're in Delhi North Campus and I'm not sure what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to handle this situation and what steps we should take to ensure she's okay?

View allI was wondering what would happen if air got injected into an artery instead of a vein by mistake with a regular syringe. Is it something I should be worried about?
Depends on the amount of air.injected... usually more than 25cc can cause embolism leading to heart failure and respiratory failure

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