Brief Answer:
First 24 hrs is the most important phase..

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX , Welcome to HCM,

I've gone through your question and understand your concern..

Theoretically speaking , you'll be fine provided you're having a normal Liver Function ..

You seemed like a responsible adult, so any particular reason for taking them?

Feel free to discuss..I'll be glad to help you..

However some further details are needed to proceed in this regard i.e.

How long back did you take them ?
Any pain abdomen ? Nausea vomiting since then ?
Why aren't you having any food ? What seems to be the problem ?


Please get back to me with these details so that I can assist your further in this regard..

Saridon is a fixed dose OTC , first of all you may try to induce emesis (try to throw up , drinking a lot of water will help) to get the drug out of your system if taken in past few hours only..

Also you need to check in to your nearest ER to get a proper gastric lavage (thorough cleaning of the stomach ) , as well as physical examinations as well as investigations of your liver and kidney function as well as other metabolic parameter's monitoring, proper hydration and antidote if at all needed(I don't think you'll be needing any antidote if you've taken 6 tablets)..

You need to consider this at the earliest as time is the most important factor here for the body to metabolize the drug..

Please don't try to drive on your own , be calm and vigilant and please call for help so that the accompanying person can take you to the nearest ER..

In ER, they'll keep you under observation for a few hours as well as run a few more tests..so don't panic..

Please let me know how you stay..

Wishing you a fast recovery..

Kind Regards..
