Paracetamol toxicity, which occurs when an individual takes too much paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen), can be a serious medical condition with potentially life-threatening consequences. Here are some of the dangers associated with paracetamol toxicity:
Liver damage: Paracetamol is primarily processed by the liver. When an individual takes an excessive amount of paracetamol, the liver becomes overwhelmed and cannot process the drug efficiently, leading to liver damage. In severe cases, liver failure can occur, which can be fatal.
Kidney damage: High doses of paracetamol can also cause kidney damage, particularly in individuals with pre-existing kidney problems.
Gastrointestinal problems: Paracetamol toxicity can cause gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Increased risk of bleeding: Paracetamol toxicity can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in individuals who are also taking blood-thinning medications.
Increased risk of infections: Paracetamol toxicity can weaken the immune system, leading to an increased risk of infections.
