Hello, Thanks for writing to us.
My Dear!!!, you have taken 10 tablets of 500 mg of paracetamol in a span of 6 hours. I am rephrasing it, because if this is true - you need to visit hospital immediately. Firstly that you feel sick is one of the concern - but not the major one.
The major concern is 10 tablets of 500 mg = 5 gram of paracetamol!!!! Thats a very high toxic dose...
Please leave any important work - and immediately visit your nearest emergency department,, because such high toxic dose is a threat to your life......
RUSH TO HOSPITAL NOW.............
