An overdose of paracetamol causes liver damage that, if not treated quickly, is very dangerous. As little as 10-15g (20- 30 tablets) taken in one go can be fatal. A paracetamol overdose is particularly dangerous because the damage sometimes isn't apparent for 4-6 days after the drug has been taken. So, even if someone who has taken a paracetamol overdose seems fine and doesn't have any symptoms, it is vital that they are taken to hospital urgently. More rarely, paracetamol overdose can also cause severe kidney damage.

I'd see a doctor about this, but do not mix calcium foods / drinks when taking iron (i.e. milk).  Calcium blocks the absorption of iron.  Also, try consuming vitamin C when you take in iron, the enhances the absorption of iron.  It is hard to absort from vegetables.  Meats / fishes tend to be easy sources of iron.\n\nYou may also want to supplement with B-12 and Zinc, as they tend to go hand and hand with iron deficiencies.\n\nBut by all means, see a doctor for a blood test to absolutely verify we are dealing with an iron deficiency.\n\nGood luck.

you would become very sick, very sick!! Hopefully you would end up in the hospital where they give you charcoal to slow down the medicine in your body and then you get to have a psych consult!! You would more than likely damage your liver, your heart and whatever else, that and you end up with really black colored mouth and lips from the charcoal and it does not come off easy....not to mention the oh so fun pumping of the stomach..and large bore IV's running full tilt....yeah rocking good time

depending on what's low your red blood cells or your white ones.  But to stabilize blood cell count iron pills are usually issued.  After being prescribed these pills your blood cell count should go from low to normal.

If you take iron pills, you will get terrible constipation.  Do it the natural way -- by eating the right foods.  Eat a baby spinash salad every night -- they are so yummy, just like spring mix salads, add tomatoes and you won't notice that it's spinach.  See, it's old spinach that is gross.  Baby spinach is delicious!\n\nTry to eat some quality red meat, like a steak, once a week.\n\nEat kidney beans if you like them.  Eat radishes --maybe you want to grab one and slice it really thin slices and throw it into your spinach salad.  It adds a nice sharp flavor to it.

Most likely it'll make you drowsy or knock you out.  Never take medicine that has been prescribed for someone else.

Yes young and old, it's not common because with vitamin supplements it's treamtable. Iron-deficiency anemia affects your health as well. It can sap your energy and make it harder for your body to fight infection. And if you're anemic later in pregnancy, you're more likely to have problems if you lose a lot of blood when you give birth. You may feel dizzy, have a rapid heart rate, or have other symptoms that require you to stay in the hospital an extra day or two. You're also more likely to need a blood transfusion. \n\nCalcium interferes with your body's ability to absorb iron. So if you're taking calcium supplements, or an antacid that contains calcium, don't take either one while you're eating iron-rich foods or at the same time as your iron supplement. For the same reason, don't take your supplement with milk, which is rich in calcium. Drink milk between meals, instead. The same goes for tea and coffee, which contain polyphenols that interfere with the absorption of iron from supplements and plant sources. \n\nEating or drinking something rich in vitamin C at the same time you take your iron supplement or eat iron-rich plant foods can help your body absorb significantly more of the type of iron found in non-animal sources. Good vitamin C choices include a glass of orange or tomato juice, a handful of strawberries, sweet (bell) peppers, or half a grapefruit. Meat and fish (sources of heme iron, which your body absorbs much more easily) can also improve your absorption of the iron in non-meat foods. For example, putting a bit of beef in a pot of vegetable chili can help you absorb iron from the vegetables.\n\nIf your test indicates that you're anemic, your practitioner will prescribe an iron supplement of 60 to 120 mg a day or more. To make sure you absorb as much of the iron as possible, take your iron pills on an empty stomach. Wash them down with water or orange juice (the vitamin C helps with absorption) but not with milk (calcium hinders absorption).\n\nNote that these doses refer to the amount of "elemental iron," or pure iron, in a supplement. Some labels list the amount of ferrous sulfate (a kind of iron salt) instead of or in addition to the amount of elemental iron. A supplement that contains 325 mg of ferrous sulfate will give you about 60 mg of elemental iron. Others use ferrous gluconate, 300 mg of which yields about 34 mg of elemental iron.\n\nOne more important thing to note: Be vigilant about keeping any pills containing iron in childproof containers and away from children. More kids die from iron overdose each year than from any other kind of accidental drug poisoning. In fact, a single adult dose can poison a small child.
