Paracetamol for pain relief
Hello,
I have taken 4 tablets of 500mg paracetamol at once to relieve my body pains. I'm experiencing body pains after the tablets intake. It's been 12 hrs since I took the medication.
Is it fine to take 4 at once? If not, then what are the next precautions I need to take? Do I need to undergo any checkups?
