Medicine Overdose
I have a frnd who took 6 paracetamol tablets together (500mg) due to some stress in which he was in yesterday at night 2. Is it safe??
I have been reading about it on internet and am really scared and worried about him. He hasn't visited any doctor's and that he only felt a little vomiting today during lunch. He told me this today mrng and also told that after doing this he tried to vomit as suddenly it struck him what wrong he has done. I am very worried for him. Is it going to be okay or what are your suggestions???

6 tabs of 500mg Paracetamol is totally 3g.
His vomiting is due to overdose of taking it at a time.
