Paracetamol overdose
A friend of mine, of 23 years of age, weight 67 kg, height 5'5", have consumed 108 g of paracetamol in a day, and then, again 80 g of paracetamol on the subsequent day in an attempt to commit suicide. He has been taken to the hospital nearly 30 hours after the first overdose. Can he be revived? We, his family and friends, are tensed. Please, reply quickly, so that we can prepare ourselves mentally for any situation.

Kindly wait patiently it takes a while before the overdose reaction begins but he needs to have the excess paracetamol pumped from his stomach and then the side effects and problems of overdose has to come under control. Prognosis cannot be determined with limited information.
