Parcetomol side effect
My friends company recently closed n now he is unemployed for past six months and searching for job but he is kind of depressed and last week he ate 5 to 10 parcetomol tablet due to which he fell ill. We are recently taken him to the psychiatrist but he seems to still taking paracetamol tablet although we are trying to stop him from doing that we have fear that he might take it more then that quantity. Will taking too much off paracetamol tablet causes harm. Please let us know so that we could be aware of the side effect.
Unemployment is a major stressor in any young male. Taking paracetamol tablets can be part of addiction or for self medication or based on his depressed mood. The description given by you is less to fix a diagnosis. But he definitely needs detailed evaluation. Paracetamol in high doses is highly toxic to liver.
Next Steps
kindly consult a psychiatrist
