Symptoms and Treatment for Overdosage and Antidote(s): Initial symptoms of overdosage include nausea, vomiting, hypotension and sweating. Liver damage is unlikely to occur after ingestion of less than 15g Paracetamol (300mL) as a single dose.
Jaundice, hypoglycaemia and metabolic acidosis are the major manifestations of liver failure which may take at least three days to develop. In cases of suspected overdose, Acetylcysteine is given by intravenous infusion as an antidote by a physician.
