Hello,
That isn't going to be a serious overdose. It contains two medicines that you CAN overdose seriously on (caffeine and acetaminophen). without an exam, I can only give general information.
And too much of either can even be fatal BUT 4 pills aren't close to a fatal dose.
However, if someone were to take that and a fatal dose of caffeine and/or acetaminophen from other pills, then they would have a slightly more fatal dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
