Tyenol can damage the liver. I don't even know why you're on here typing about it when you should be on your way to the hospital with your friend.

Answer 4

ipecac or just a finger while ur waiting for an ambulance

Answer 5

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE INTERNET???????

CALL 911!!

Answer 6

Calm down, call 911 and get an ambulance headed to your house ASAP.  Try to get your friend to vomit (either by gag reflex or find some ipecac syrup and get some of that medicine out of her system.  Keep her very calm and still until the medics arrive and then let them deal with the situation.

Answer 7

Call poison control immediately:  1-800-942-5969

Answer 8

What the h**l are you doing on yahoo answers? Call 911 and ask them this question. I don't think it's fatal, but she most definitely needs medical attention just in case.

Answer 9

How big was the bottle?  I took a bottle of pills once but it was a small one with 8 pills, all I did was sleep.    I'm assuming she took a much larger dose.  You need to get her to throw up induce it by mixing mustard and warm water together and make her drink a glass of it then stick something down her throat to make it easier to get all the stuff up.

Then Call 911

Answer 10

Call 911 NOW!

Answer 11

Uh, yeah!

Take her to the hospital, she will have a blast getting her stomach pumped!

Answer 12

How big is the bottle? And how big is your friend? An acutely toxic dose for somebody who weighs 100 pounds would be about six and a half ounces.

By the way, anybody who knows what he's doing in emergency medicine won't "pump the stomach" for a Tylenol overdose. If there's a question of toxicity, though, they'll definitely want to draw a blood level exactly four hours after the ingestion, so time may be important.
