Does An Over Dosage Of Paracetamol Cause Adverse Side Effects?
What would be the effects of taking 10 paracetamol at the same time? My girlfriend attempted suicide by doing that about 2 years ago. She threw up shortly after and felt nauseous for a day or so, but was fine as far as we can tell after that, and we never thought the attempt had caused any long term damage. If it makes any difference she s 5 8 tall and overweight. I just found out that overdosing on paracetamol can cause liver failure long term. Is it likely to have caused any damage?

dear friend
in all probability it will not cause any long term effect on a single episode of overdose, its a chronic abuse that in the end results in liver damage. still to get over your apprehension you can get a LFT done with enzymes and share the report we will let you know if you need to worry any further,
