Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As far as the dosages is concerned,you have not taken any abnormal dose because the normal routine dose is 50-100 mg every 4-6 hours with maximum dose allowed as 400 mg a day.
As far as side effects are concerned,this drug is well tolerated by most of the people and the minor side effects being faced by you are only transient in nature and hence there is nothing to worry.
Just relax as everything shall be all right in next couple of hours.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
