    well panadol is relative safer drug. but higher doses may constitute toxicity. you have taken 2.5 grams of panadol ( 5*500mg=2500mg=2.5 g)

    if one tablet is equal to 500mg (calculate by yourself by multiplying the dose (in mg) with the no. of tablets you taken)

    The toxic dose of paracetamol is highly variable. In adults, single doses above 10 grams or 150 mg/kg have a reasonable likelihood of causing toxicity.Toxicity can also occur when multiple smaller doses within 24 hours exceeds these levels, or even with chronic ingestion of doses as low as 4 g/day, and death with as little as 6 g/day.

    the dose you have taken is not appearing toxic .. but you have strange nauseous feeling. it is not appearing much serious. but toxic dose is highly variable and varies person to person. so please visit emergency department.

    sory forget to write about CA C 1000. you have got this strange feeling because of extra dose you have taken of panadol. CA C 1000 is safe.. it is not likely to such feeling

    Panadol Extra

  • 1 decade ago

    Taking 5 Panadol Extra is a very bad idea, that's into the danger zone for acetaminophen overdose! If you feel funny it's probably all the caffeine in the Extra messing with your stomach. Taking that much acetaminophen several times can damage your liver and kidneys.
