Paracetamol overused, any negative side effects?

Paul Kim

I took 2 pills of biogesic around 6:40 am and I took another 2 pills of Tylenol around 8:10 am. Will I have any problem? And what symptoms can I expect if anything is likely to happen?

Hello Paul,

Ilang araw na rin ang nakalipas at sana ay wala kang ibang naramdaman. Ang iyong pagreply ay labis kong ikakatuwa. Hindi ka naman overdose dahil kaya naman ng katawan ng isang adult na idetoxify ang 4000 mg na Tylenol/Paracetamol. Pero kawawa naman ang iyong atay. Sa susunod, wag itong ulitin. Ang konting damage sa atay ay maaring magiging sanhi ng mas malalang sakit sa hinaharap. Maari kang magpa test ng LFT para malaman ang kabuuang kalagayan ng iyong atay sa ngayon. Tandaan, wag na ulit iton ulitin sapagkat ito ay fatal o nakamamatay.
