What are the symptoms of paracetamol overdose?

 The symptoms of paracetamol overdose may vary depending on the amount and timing of the ingestion. However, some of the common symptoms are:


- Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite in the first 24 hours after the overdose¹³⁵.

- No or mild symptoms for the next 24 to 72 hours, but liver damage may be occurring silently¹³⁴.

- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), dark urine, bleeding problems, confusion, swelling of the abdomen, and coma in the later stages of liver failure¹³⁴.


Paracetamol overdose is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. If you or someone you know has taken too much paracetamol, do not wait for the symptoms to appear. Call your local poison control center or emergency number for advice and seek help as soon as possible. The sooner you get treatment, the better the chances of recovery.
