overdose

Forewarned is forearmed. I do not want to scare you but I must tell you about the possible toxic effects of paracetamol.


Toxicity
Paracetamol is contained in many preparations (both over-the-counter and prescription-only medications), hence there is a chance that you take Paracetamol more than necessary.

This will happen, if for example, you take one medicine for cold, another tablet for fever and third type for pain.
If each one contains Paracetamol who land with extra dose that could be harmful. So make sure that your medicine contains only 500 mg Paracetamol/single dose.


In some animals, for example cats, small doses are toxic.
