What Are The Side Effects Of Overdose Of Dihydrocodeine And Paracetamol?
hi, I have been prescribed Dihydrocodeine and paracetamol and told to take 2 0f each up to times per day. Due to circumstances I have not taken any today and as I was about to go to bed took a dose as directed. About 20minutes later distracted by listening to death toll on the radio and repeated the dose. PLEASE ADVISE

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
The side effects of overdose of Dihydrocodeine and paracetamol could be drowsiness,nausea,vomiting,giddiness etc but not major.
However,in your case if you have taken 2 or 3 extra tablets then no need to worry.It will not cause any side effect what i have mentioned.
Still,if you feel not well or nausea then induce vomiting by pitting finger in the mouth cavity over the back side of tongue.
Consult some local doctor if problem persists otherwise there is no need to worry.
Regards,
