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 swallowed a small amount of betadine gargle by accident. Should I be worried or is it nothing to be concerned about?
Accidentally swallowing a small amount of Betadine (povidone-iodine) gargle is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it may cause temporary gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, due to its high iodine content

I'm really worried because my friend accidentally gave me a duralast 30mg tablet and I took it without realizing. I'm concerned about any potential side effects or reactions I might have. Could something happen to me because of this? Please, I need some advice quickly.
Duralast 30 mg contains **dapoxetine**, typically used for specific conditions like premature ejaculation. Taking one tablet accidentally is unlikely to cause serious harm but may lead to mild side effects like nausea, dizziness, or headache. Stay hydrated, monitor yourself, and consult a doctor if you feel unwell.

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?
