Taken Overdose Of Disprin. What To Do To Prevent Side Effects?
Question: my friend has consumed 9 disprin now....what should be our further course of action to avoid any severe consequences.hospitalization is not possible...can u suggest any home remedies
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
What is the dosage of acetylsalic acid in one tablet?
As usually one tablet contains 500 mg, and XXXXXXX dosage is about 150mg-300mg per kilogram, he should take about 9000 mg (18 tablets) to cause any serious side effects.
So 9 tablets seems quite safe and should not cause any serious consequences.
The symptoms which you should be aware of is nausea, vomiting, dizziness, accelerated breathing.
There is no specific antidote for dispirin, so if your friend feels like this dosage is causing any side effects, the best way is to force vomiting.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
