Question 1

Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank some Colin while cleaning glass, and now I'm vomiting. We're in a village and can't get to a doctor right away. Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with this?

Taking 4 Solos (Electrolyte-Rich Beverages) at Once

2. *Sodium overload*: Consuming high amounts of sodium can cause:
    - Blood pressure increase
    - Fluid retention
    - Stomach discomfort
3. *Gastrointestinal issues*: Drinking 4 Solos at once may cause:
    - Stomach upset
    - Nausea
    - Vomiting
    - Diarrhea

_Precautions:_

1. *Follow recommended serving size*: Stick to the recommended serving size (1 Solo packet per 1 liter of water).
2. *Space out consumption*: Drink Solos at intervals, rather than consuming multiple packets at once.
3. *Monitor electrolyte levels*: If you have concerns about electrolyte imbalance, consult your doctor or a healthcare professional.
4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration.

Question 3

I accidentally ended up swallowing a Bendax400 tablet, which I know is supposed to be chewable. I'm kinda worried now. Could you let me know if that's harmful, and what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Swallowing a Bendax-400 tablet, which is meant to be chewed, is unlikely to cause significant harm, as the active ingredient, mebendazole, is an antiparasitic medication; however, to be cautious, drink plenty of water and monitor yourself for potential side effects like stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea;

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
