What Are The Side Effects Of Tapentadol Overdose?
Question: I took 2 tapentadol by mistake is it harmful. 50mg ones
Brief Answer:
Tapentadol is a narcotic pain reliever.
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic, Tapentadol is a narcotic pain reliever.
That means it has action on brain. It can therefore cause sedation if double dose is taken.
It can also damage liver and cause breathing problems.
I will advise you to drink a lot of water, try not to sleep for 6-8 hours and avoid alcohol and any other sedatives.
If you feel breathless or nauseous, see your doctor.
You can revert back.
Regards
