Answer 1

Are you a blond?

Answer 2

because it contains paracetamol ,a very safe drug alone,  except ,it can be fatal if accidently overdosed.

Answer 3

you should never exceed 4,000mg of it a day because it can cause liver damage. you arnt supposed to take 2 things with it because usually that would mean you went over the max daily safe allowance. if you have two separate meds with it in it then you need to stagger them through the day, only take one or the other, dont go over the max daily allowance a day between the two of them.

Answer 4

If you take a normal dose of two different medications that contain the some of the same ingredients, you are giving yourself a double dose of the ingredient.  Isn't that obvious?

It IS dangerous, that's what we're all telling you.  You can't double up on dosages, it's called an OVERdose.

Answer 5

An overdose of Paracetamol is actually quite insidious and death occurs a day to a few days after the initial overdose symptoms seem to disappear.

If you accidentally overdose by taking as little as 1.5 to 2x the safe dose dose in a day or two, you may feel a pain in your back below the ribs on your right hand side but it would pass and you'd feel fine for a couple of days, then **BANG**, suddenly you collapse and most likely die, with anybody around you wondering what the h**l was occurring because you seemed fine and the damage was done days ago.

The liver is not easy to transplant, very few donor organs would be available if any at all as they have to be fresh and transplanted immediately and the operation is usually only undertaken, rightly or wrongly, to those of status and importance and those with money.

http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Paracet... down to the "Toxicity" section, other informations online will tell you the same.

Don't gamble with your life by taking above recommended doses of ANY medication and always ask a pharmacist about doses and any contra indications, side effects etc when you buy something pharmaceutical or pick up a prescription!

[Yes, you can also look something up in an online formulary but the pharmacist is interactive and can translate what is more important from what one will read in a formulary, not all of it will be relevant to you and the qualified pharmacist can tell the differences between different people requiring a particular medication/drug course.]

Drugs are drugs, always use with due caution.

Please!
