Just took pills unaware of what they were.. will these harm me?!


Question: Just took pills unaware of what they were!.!. will these harm me!?
I just took 4 pills, thinking they were all just 250g of paracetamol!.!. but my sister just informed me they were infact two 200g ibruprofen, one 'Anadin extra' (containing aspirin,paracetamol and caffeine) and one 'Panadol Extra(Act Fast)'
Will these harm me!? And I also feel slightly drowsy, but is that just in my head!?
Please answer back ASAP, help would be greatly appreciated, thanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
In terms of the Ibuprofen you would have to have taken a LOT more than that!. Harmful effects would be mostly to your digestive system but again you would have had to have taken a lot more and taken a lot over a long period of time (we're talking years)!. You will probably be fine but if you would feel more comfortable call Poison Control they can tell you more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its hard to say!.!.!.i would call the doctor and tell them what u took so u can be sure, dont fall asleep without calling the on call doctor first!.!.!.!.!.you want to be safe rather than sorry!.!.!.this is what i would do because its not only the dose of what u took its the fact you have like four or five different drugs in your body at once, they might interact with each other!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Extreme tiredness is a BAD side effect to the use of panadol!! Not sure about the interaction or the other side effects!! In only drowsy then you might weather it out ok!!!
Just keep alert to what is happening and if you don't like how you are feeling -go to the doctor!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink plenty of water as that will flush your kidneys and go a lay down as sleep is on the cards other than that nothing to really worry about!. Unless your under the age of 8, go to a doctor!.

So that's 400mg of Ibuprofen & about 1000mg of Acetaminophen & 65mg of Caffeine right!?!.!.It's a large dose but drink lots of water & get something in your stomach!. You should be ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you'd taken a kilo of paracetamol you wouldn't be alive to type your question! ;o) That's probably enough to kill a hippo!
