What Are The Repercussions Of Overdose Of Dexpoten?

i have drunk half bottle of dexpoten (a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine and triprolidine) at 12am then i drunk the rest half at 3am of the same night. how much damage will this do ? and i used to do this once every 2-3 weeks. what kind of damage it may cause ? and if i want to continue drinking every 2 weeks is it healthy enough for me so that it doesnt cause any major disease ?

Hello
The amount which you have consumed will not cause any major harm. But taking it regularly will cause addiction. it can also damage your liver.
Hope this helps.
