What Are The Repercussions Of Overdosing On Predmet?
Question: What can happen if you take 10 tablets of Predmet 16 mg all at once? Is it life threatening? If someone takes that amount of dosage at once what can happen and if you make the person puke right away will that help?
Brief Answer:
Emergency
Detailed Answer:
It can have harmful effects on the body. Depending on the general health of the individual it can have variable impact. In a person with diabetes and hypertension it could suddenly raise glucoses and blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Doctors sometimes administer similar doses for certain medical conditions. However this is typically undertaken under direct medical supervision by hospitalizing the patient.
Puking immediately may hopefully minimize the side effects but one cannot be sure how much came back out.
There are other ways to empty the stomach quickly which can be performed in the emergency center/ casualty of hospitals

The person's general overall health was ok! and she is saying she's feeling fine! Is it important to see a doctor right away? If the general health was ok then hopefully there will be no harmful effects on the body?
Also taking such an overdose at once, can it have any long term side effects on the body?
