What To Expect After Ingesting 30 Paracetamol Tablets?
Hi. I tried to commit suicide last night by ingesting 30 paracetamol tablets. A mix of different brands. I had previously had sleep medication and depression medication. I have had no symptoms so far, will I receive any? Will I have to go to hospital?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Overdose of paracetamol ( acetaminphen) is very hazardous to your liver.
You should rush to your nearby emergency department as soon as possible. don't take it lightly.
A gastric lavage may be needed to expel unabsorbed drug from body. Monitoring of liver function is also needed.
Hope this information helps.
Get well soon.
