I'm not sure how many doctors you'll find here...

just thought some one might know. it contains paracetamol in total i have took 5000mg witch is over the recomended dosage but i never took it in one go so i should be ok right, it was in a space of 20 hour (more or less) in about 4 to 5 hour spacing. i feel fine it coming up for 24 hour would i be in the clear thats 6 hours after the last lemsip .......i know sorry i wasting peoples time here but............

I'm not a Doctor either but I can say it's never a good idea to exceed the recommended dosage on anything. Some people think if you take more you get better quicker, it doesn't work that way.

I wouldn't worry too much since you feel fine, if that changes go and see a doctor.

I'm no doctor either , but here what it say on Paracetamol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol) :
While generally safe for use at recommended doses (1,000 mg per single dose and up to 4,000 mg per day for adults)

If you are unsure , you can slow down and keep some time before you take the next medication .

Hope you get better :bunny:

I don't want to worry you in any way but if you are at all unsure, please speak to a doctor. It's very easy to overdose on Paracetamol because the required dosage is relatively low. Personally, I think you are ok but I am not a doctor and neither is anyone else on here. If you're worried, don't mess about, get some proper advice.

Speak to a doctor about health worries; no-one here can help you with that.

Get well soon!
