Hi,

Thanks for your query.

High doses of paracetamol lead to liver damage and other complications. Flxetine in higher doses also causes alteration in heart beat and other complications. Hence I advice you to visit ER or your physician immidiately to assess the damage to your organs due to overdose of both drugs.

Please visit the hospital as soon as possible.

I hope I answered your query. I will be glad to answer any followup queries you have.

Wishing you good health.
