Would Over Dose Of 7.5 Grams/day Paracetamol Cause Any Problem ?
Would Over dose of 7.5 grams/day (Paracetamol) would be fatal if repeated for two days? Dear Doctor ,My friend has consumed 10 pills of P750 (a Paracetamol medi.) three days ago & again today he has consumed Dolo 650mg X 10pills. This was intentional to get attention of his Step mom & Dad. Would this cause any fatal effect to him?? He is alright as of now. But is sleeping a lot.
