DEAR SIR/MADAM
ELTROXIN IS A METABOLIC HARMONE WHICH MIMICS THE THYROID HORMONE AND SERVES ITS FUNCTION.
ECOSPIRIN IS AN ANTIPLATELET DRUG WHICH IS USUALLY GIVEN FOR PROPHYLAXIS WHO HAVE CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS.
WHENEVER YOU TAKE ELTROXIN IN LONG DOSES AS YOU MENTIONED IT MIGHT BE TOXIC, SUDDENLY YOU NEED TO INDUCE VOMITTING OR YOU SHOULD GIVE STOMACH WAS BECAUSE IT WILL ACCELERATE THE BODY METABOLISM TO SEVERE EXTENT WHICH WILL CAUSE EXTREME FATIGUE, ITS EFFECT MIGHT BE MANY DAYS, IT WILL SOME TIMES CAUSE RESIDUAL EFFECTS AFFECTING THYROID FUNCTION.
ECOSPIRIN WHEN TAKEN IN SUCH QUANTITIES CAUSES BLEEDING DISORDERS, HEPATIC TOXICITY AND SEVERE GASTRITIS SOME TIMES EVEN ULCERS. ADVICED TO DRINK LOT OF COLD WATER.
ATEN WHICH IS ATENOLOL, BASICALLY AN ANTI BLOOD PRESSURE DRUG WHEN TAKEN IN SUCH QUANTITIES, IT WILL CASE SEVERE BRADYCARDIA THAT IS REDUCED HEART REATE, WHICH WILL CAUSE SYNCOPES, LOSS OF ORIENTATION AND SOME TIMES EVEN BRADY ARRYTHMIAS, IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CHECK FOR PULSE RATE- IF IT BELOW 50 BEATS PER MINUTE THEN DONT DELAY FURTHER RUSH FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
THANK YOU
