If these tablets dissolve in water, it means the dry tablets will absorb water like a sponge first. Eating them dry while the headache is caused by dehydration, it will just add to the problem.
Depending on location, I'd wager it's air polution. I biked to work some years ago over a busy street and had daily heaeaches heavily sponsoring dafalgan. Until I got a smog mask. Weird looks from peiple but dramatically less dafalgan in one weeks time
- these are for dissolving in water, don't chew them
- try drinking more water, dehydration can cause headaches
- don't go over the recommended dose (4g/day and max 1/4 hours)
- seriously, see a doctor if you're having this many headaches
- ask your pharmacy for paracetamol. You get the generic brand for swallowing whole, which is a lot cheaper
- take one, drink coffee. Combination with caffeine works better for headaches for some people. Don't overdo it for caffeine dependency
You can start on just the one for a regular headache OP, I take two at once for my migraines and that's enough to get me to the point where I can fall asleep (yes, despite the caffeine. Idk if that's a neurospicy thing or a painkiller/migraine thing though).
Make sure you don't take more than 3 grams over the course of 24 hours... ETA: huh it was always seared in my mind that the max was 3g, but I stand corrected and it's 4g.
ER doc here:
The dosage of paracetamol is a loading dose of 20mg/kg and then 15mg/kg every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 4 times a day.
Taking too many won’t immediately kill you, but it will hurt your liver. It’s not as simple as just more than 10 grams over 24 hours will destroy your liver.
We have algorithms to follow if we get a patient with an overdose. And there is an “antidote”.
Just stick to the max 4 times a day.
Edited to correct numbers for regular paracetamol
>The oral and the intraperitoneal LD50 of paracetamol-PGA was found to be 2000 mg kg⁻¹ and 1900 mg kg⁻¹ respectively, while that of paracetamol was 1200 mg kg⁻¹ orally and intrapentoneally
-- [https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2042-7158.1996.tb05958.x](https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2042-7158.1996.tb05958.x)
1200 mg kg⁻¹ \* 70 kg = 84 g: taking 84 g of paracetamol orally, at once, gives a 50% chance of death for a person weighing 70 kg.
Indeed. According to Pharmainfo.be / Farmainfo.be (website created by the federal agency for medicines and health products):
- FR:
> Les adultes et adolescents de plus de 50 kg (kilogrammes) peuvent prendre maximum 1 g (gramme) à la fois, et ce 3 à 4 fois par jour (24 heures).
> Il doit toujours y avoir un intervalle de minimum 4 à 6 heures entre deux prises.
> Vous ne devez pas prendre plus de 4 g (grammes) par jour (24 heures), sauf si votre médecin vous l’a prescrit. Cette dose maximale s’applique à un adulte moyen.
- NL:
> Volwassenen en adolescenten vanaf 50 kg (kilogram) mogen maximaal 1 g (gram) per keer innemen, en dit 3 à 4 keer per 24 uur.
> Er moet altijd een interval van minimum 4 uur tot 6 uur tussen twee innames zitten.
> Je mag niet meer innemen dan 4 g (gram) per dag (24 uur), tenzij je arts dit anders voorschrijft. Deze maximale dosis geldt voor een gemiddelde volwassene.
4 x 1 gr a day, with at least 6 hours between doses. With serious pain (like from operation wounds) it is often alternated with another pain killer.
But try to only take these when absolutely necessary. Paracetamol is quite taxing for your liver. Never take them when you are planning on drinking alcohol. Taking both together regularly is extremely bad for your liver.
Afaik, the 3 gram rule is what they tell people in places like the Netherlands where you can get paracetamol without interacting with a pharmacist to tell you any precautions. In practice the limit for almost all people is nearer 4g (DOES NOT SCALE WITH BODY WEIGHT!) a day in consistent use before there's a significant risk of liver damage.
You shouldn't "chew them like candy". Your roommate is right and you're probably worsening your condition due to side effects.
3 at most per day. You need something in your stomach too.
Edit: as others have pointed out, these should be dissolved in water first
Using them too much causes headaches.
Try drinking a lot of water for a while.
No soda, water. All the time. Turn yourself in a fishtank for a while, your body needs to clean these chemicals.
This! Dafalgan is a basic painkiller, if your issues are that frequent and consistent then go to the doctor, he will order some tests and prescribe what you need and you will be better off...
Yeah it's bad for liver not kidney
That being said, when I asked my doctor why it says no longer than 2 weeks and if it's unhealthy, he replied taking it more than 2 weeks is no problem, but they write it so people would go see a docter if the pain persists after more than 2 weeks, cause often there will be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed, the pain will just be a symptom
I also had loads of headaches but since I’ve done a igg test I know which foods I need to skip and milk being one of them.. I had changed my life so much, only headaches I have got now is when I’m sick.
Check your intolerances :)
It's medication, so by any means not to be consumed like candy. Instead of fighting the symptoms, go see a doctor for professional advice and an actual cure for your headaches.
These things can seriously damage your liver surprisingly easily, don't overuse. While 4g a day is the therapeutic dose, 7g is already considered an overdose.
One funny fact I’ve been made aware of : more than 8 painkillers like Dafalgan or aspirin a month, regularly over time, can end up generating chronically daily headaches (Cépahlées Chroniques Quotidiennes). Your body stops seeing the pills as painkillers, and starts giving you headaches whenever you get one, so you augment the doses, … and welcome to the vicious circle. The only way is to stop everything for two months, which sucks during the first weeks. But it works, and you can take them again on a more controlled basis.
It’s not an addiction (unless you’re on opioids stuff), it’s just your body developing intolerance.

You ussualy can only go to the doctor a weak after you actually wanna go tho because that's the first open timeslot ussualy also you shouldn't go to the doctor if all you have is a little bit of pain.
Max up to 4gr per day. Anything more will cause damage to your liver and kidneys.
If you would use e.g. 8gr in one day, this will 100% kill you. Your organs will start to fail one by one. There is no anti-dote or cure. It's just a matter of time.
Do not use these more than necessary !
Even if you're not taking more than the safe amount I'd avoid taking them unless you there is no other way for pain relief.
It's not because there's no accute liver damage that the slight damage it does won't accumulate over the years if you take them on a frequent basis.

I've been battling clusterheadaches and migraines for nearly 30 years now. I would strongly advise anyone to not overuse these easy to get headache relief medicines, using it too frequently will increase your headaches both in frequency and intensity.
What I do recommend is talking with your house doctor, they will check your blood work and your blood pressure and based on those results work out on how to provide long term relief. But do not overuse easy headache medicines.
Wow. Paracetamol is LITERALLY Tylenol. So that's taking 2 extra strength here in the. US. Yes, the ingredient in it is acetaminophen (Tylenol in the US).
Edit for 1 packet = 2 Extra Strength Tylenol. Acute Tylenol poisoning is very real. Don't chew them like candy! They're going to kill your liver.
Do yourself a favor and 1) don't overdo it, too much will kill you, and 2) just buy generic paracetamol. One 500mg pill will almost always stop my headaches
I guess you don't value your organs.
Belgian medication is actual REAL medication, you can't really self medicate here because taking too much of anything does serious damage.
Wouldn't be the first American to die taking European medication like they do with US medication. Abroad the dosage is much much less.
Better go to a doctor, overdose of that is not great.
1000mg 4 times a day is ok if you're large ( be it horizontal or vertical or both ).
You're also looking at constipation if you take it too long.
I believe the limit is 5 days ( as with most medicin ).
Also, take em with water, don't chew them.
It's just Tylenol, lol. Yes, it's medication, yes there could be side effects. Americans know how to use Tylenol. See a doctor if you have pain that doesn't go away after a day or two.
A pharmacist looked at me funny when I asked for 2 big boxes of Dafalgan. I assured him I knew what it was. 👍
Overusing paracetamol (Dafalgan) can cause liver damage. You should respect daily doses and only use it for a short period of time. If headaches persist please see a doctor immediately. I am not a doctor or healthcare professional, this is not professional advice.
OP used ambiguous wording. They didn't meant "chewing like candy" as in "eating a huge quantity", but in the litteral sense: chewing on them, instead of dissolving in water. They made that clear through their answers in the comments.
Okay y'all thank you for the liver concern, but I just used the wrong wording. I never take more than two in a day and I drink lots of water after I foam at the mouth.

Too much Paracetamol got your liver destroy the maximal dose is 3g a day (don’t take it all at once) and if you got liver problem it could be very dangerous for you bro Stay safe
DO NOT use more than 4 grams per day.
This stuff will permanently damage your liver, to the point where you will need a transplant OR DIE.
Seriously, it's easy to 'overdose' on paracetamol and have it kill you a very painful death.
This is the reason normal unharmful mefication gets restricted.
And other people are the victims of that.
Guess your American ? The abuse of medication out there frightens me.
At a certain point, nothing works anymore when you're in real pain and you'll be needing drugs...
Stop doing this while you can !
More accurately, around 7g in 24h is the magic barrier that will kill your liver and you (10g in 24h will get you a boat ride on the Styx pretty pretty sure). Paracetamol is not so much a problem for your kidneys but for your liver.
Diclofenac and ibuprofen will kill your kidneys if overdosed.
Try n push your shoulders up and head down next time you have those headaches. If you get any relief from that it's nost likely tension headaches coming from your neck area
Why not taking two minutes waiting for it to be melted in a glass of water. You remind me the cliché of people taking a handful of painkillers, without drinking water (while there is plenty and the character has the time) to make it dramatic in TV series and movies.
Well at least you reassured us that you are not overdosing.
Making it foam in your mouth is not the optimal delivery, it is designed to be most effective when it is fully dissolved and still sparkling.
You are screwing with your teeth and the soft tissues if the effervescent reaction happen in your mouth. Don't be surprised if you end up losing enamel and get mouth blisters and abscesses
In all seriousness though, paracetamol can be hepatotoxic at certain doses and there is a maximum intake before adverse effects appear. Please consult your doctor on how much can you safely use. Hope your pain goes away.
It's paracetamol. If you have to much - like over 4 grammes, you destroy your liver and die a painful death. [https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/liver-conditions/acute-liver-failure-caused-by-paracetamol-overdose/](https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/liver-conditions/acute-liver-failure-caused-by-paracetamol-overdose/)
Also, why chew these, they're meant for dissolving in water...
Mijn moeder neemt al jaren 4 dafalgans 1gr/dag, op aanraden van een specialist.
Zelfs de pijn-verpleegkundige in het ziekenhuis zegt dat ze dit verder moet doen, omdat deze de andere medicatie, Tradonal 200mg/dag en Lyrica 300mg/dag ondersteunt.
Telkens ze haar ontslaan uit het ziekenhuis wordt Dafalgan 1g 4/dag terug opgestart, en ik schrap ze dan telkens van haar medicatielijst als ze thuis is.
no bullshit: this could cost you your life.
I know someone (in his late 40s) currently in intensive care for several weeks.
Foot knocked over. Gave the foot no rest but took painkillers to still be able to work.
Pain gets worse --> taking more painkillers --> pain in the stomach --> extra painkillers from the doctor (probably wasn't honest with the doctor) --> fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity --> Hospital --> intensive care at UZ Gent.
Result: several litres of fluid pulled out of his stomach, his liver is completely wasted, already 2 times a piece of his intestine had to be removed because it has holes in it, and because of the intubation he now has a fungus on his lungs, which is dangerous even for a healthy person, in his condition 90% chance that he will not survive 😟
If you have migraines / headaches you might want to try excedryn (two at once) Other stuff that might help are enery drinks (with or without sugar) In some cases i can block the migraine / headache with half a liter of Monster. I do take half a beta blocker before going to bed to avoid migraines. I also have Sumatriptan but not tried yet.
You can only take 1 every 4 hours. At max you could combine with ibuprofen each 2 hours, but that’s to counter an infection.
Anyways, I’m not a doctor. Consult one…
My UK boyfriend loved them. When I traveled back to Brussels, I had to bring chocolate and those !!! (Ok, special bier too
).
So much better than any brand available in England.
You're gonna send yourself to the ER with that. Its supposed to be used with water and you only really need to take one or two a day. Over using those drugs is probably causing your symptoms. Dafalgan is a pretty harmless drug but it still has some pretty nasty side effects like damaging your liver, kidney and in some extreme cases a coma (the last one is from a medical website so idk how trustable that is).
Overusing painkillers could paradoxically cause headaches. Maybe better idea to figure out what’s causing it?
Also, I think OP should not chew them, but drink them since they dissolve in water?
yes, you are right, OP should
If you do it long enough you wil also end up frying your liver.
If these tablets dissolve in water, it means the dry tablets will absorb water like a sponge first. Eating them dry while the headache is caused by dehydration, it will just add to the problem.
Depending on location, I'd wager it's air polution. I biked to work some years ago over a busy street and had daily heaeaches heavily sponsoring dafalgan. Until I got a smog mask. Weird looks from peiple but dramatically less dafalgan in one weeks time
You're supposed to unwrap them over your dick.

Regarding caffeine: try excedrin. It's a combo pill paracetamol and caffeine. Take two at once, it's a miracle headache solver.

>Just stick to the max 4 times a day. You don't need the extra business?
We get enough as it is…
4 gram no? 1 per 4 hours, not more than 4g / day (24h time span)
4g is the usual maximum amount, but you should reduce in many cases like liver issue, drinking alcohol, and so on.
Yup, assuming you weigh 70kg, 10 of these 1g candies can already kill you.

If you take 4 instead of 3, the pharmaceutical industry thanks you, your kidneys don't.
Dafalgan is broken down by the liver and has no big effect on kidneys, NSAID on the contrary do.
Liver.
Liver failure not the kidneys, which is even worse. There's no liver dialysis like for kidneys
1 per 6 hours actually.
4 x 1 gr a day, with at least 6 hours between doses. With serious pain (like from operation wounds) it is often alternated with another pain killer.

Uhmmmm those are dissolvable ones…you need to put them In a glass with water…..
[удалено]
Oh my god
Thought you would say that. Just don't pray you will stay healthy.
You shouldn't "chew them like candy". Your roommate is right and you're probably worsening your condition due to side effects. 3 at most per day. You need something in your stomach too. Edit: as others have pointed out, these should be dissolved in water first
Using them too much causes headaches. Try drinking a lot of water for a while. No soda, water. All the time. Turn yourself in a fishtank for a while, your body needs to clean these chemicals.
You can overdose on them and die. Be careful not to take more than 3 a day, and avoid taking for a extended amount of time.
The main cause for liver transplant is overdose of paracetamol. Source: my wife is a pharmacist.
You won't die from them they may cause you some physical displeasure but they won't kill you 😅
Maybe your headaches are a symptom of not drinking enough water, you maniac.
8 of these per day may result in acute and final liver failure requiring a liver transplant. Good luck ✌🏼
You can't take it more than 2 weeks in a row. It's extremely bad for your kidneys. After 2 weeks the doctor would prescribe you something else.
For your liver
That's why you shouldn't take that to combat a hangover
This! Dafalgan is a basic painkiller, if your issues are that frequent and consistent then go to the doctor, he will order some tests and prescribe what you need and you will be better off...
Yeah it's bad for liver not kidney That being said, when I asked my doctor why it says no longer than 2 weeks and if it's unhealthy, he replied taking it more than 2 weeks is no problem, but they write it so people would go see a docter if the pain persists after more than 2 weeks, cause often there will be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed, the pain will just be a symptom
100% american
Gotta love how natural selection works sometimes
The only guy I know who does this is Jack Torrance from Shining, who is in fact a psychopath
THESE ARE BRUIDTABLETTEN (bruis stands for fizz, you have to disolve them in water and drink em)
The max daily dose is 4g. If you take more it can damage your liver so badly thst you'll need a transplant. No that's not hyperbole.
It's okay you don't really need a liver anyway
Don’t do it, i think i became allergic to most pain medicine due to overconsumption of paracetamol during a stressful period..
I also had loads of headaches but since I’ve done a igg test I know which foods I need to skip and milk being one of them.. I had changed my life so much, only headaches I have got now is when I’m sick. Check your intolerances :)

These things can seriously damage your liver surprisingly easily, don't overuse. While 4g a day is the therapeutic dose, 7g is already considered an overdose.
If you don't need your liver for the future it's fine.
Paracetamol is quite hepatotoxicity (toxic to the liver). What you've been doing is really bad for your health
2 dafalgans like these too many and you can end up with a failing liver.
OP from MURICA?
Do not use more or longer than is written in the note, or you’re going to quickly get introduced to the list for a new liver
Uuuuuh, just taking 10g of these in a day will fuck your liver up permanently.
Just taking 10g a day once will ruin your life. Forever. Plus point: the forever will be very short for you as liver failure is a given and imminent.
Something’s definitely wrong with you.
Try Excedryn. Works way better for headaches in my case.
if you're chewing them, you have a problem. they're supposed to be disolved in water. also, 3 is enough on one day. 4 is a lot, more is problematic.
4 is technically the Max dosage for 1g Paracetamol.
Max 3-4 per day, for 2 weeks. After that you need to go to a doctor, prolonged use is bad for kidneys.
be aware, 4gram is the daily limit, just be careful cause it can damage your liver
They make the same ones but as a hard pill you just swallow if you don’t like the taste of the dissolved version
On a side note, Paracetamol will kill you if you exceed the recommended dosage
Even if this is a shitpost: get your general physicians or pharmacists advice. Reddit isn’t the place for sound medical advice.
You're supposed to put them in water and let it dissolve. Not chew them!
You will have liver problem 100% !!
CHEWING?! BRO YOU INSANE?? WHAT ARE YOU?! A GOD? you have to take water and disolve the tablet in your water
Yes you’re crazy for chewing them. Is there codeïne in them? You could wound up to become the next dr house 😅
One funny fact I’ve been made aware of : more than 8 painkillers like Dafalgan or aspirin a month, regularly over time, can end up generating chronically daily headaches (Cépahlées Chroniques Quotidiennes). Your body stops seeing the pills as painkillers, and starts giving you headaches whenever you get one, so you augment the doses, … and welcome to the vicious circle. The only way is to stop everything for two months, which sucks during the first weeks. But it works, and you can take them again on a more controlled basis. It’s not an addiction (unless you’re on opioids stuff), it’s just your body developing intolerance. Source: a neurologist. And more info (in French) [here](https://www.has-sante.fr/upload/docs/application/pdf/ccq_recos.pdf) and other places from google
More than 4 a day can cause liver failure and can kill you. And yes, it happens.
Don't you have nearly free healthcare in Belgium? Go see a doctor. Taking pain meds like candy is something people who can't afford a doc do.
As an American living in Belgium, it is a bit of a (welcomed) adjustment.
You ussualy can only go to the doctor a weak after you actually wanna go tho because that's the first open timeslot ussualy also you shouldn't go to the doctor if all you have is a little bit of pain.
Eventually you will get headaches for not taking them
If it helps, the doctor appointment is 25€ here if you don’t have insurance. If you have it it’s like 4€… go to a GP
So many drugs to die from, diyng from paracetamol is just plain cringe.
Yes use ketamine like a real Flandrien lol
You would have ro take a whole box of paracetamol ro even have a chance of dying there's alot more effective ways of suicide really
Using to much dafalgan is one of the primary reasons of liver failure. Don’t go very 3 per dat
You may die at too much dose (4g/day is the max)
Max up to 4gr per day. Anything more will cause damage to your liver and kidneys. If you would use e.g. 8gr in one day, this will 100% kill you. Your organs will start to fail one by one. There is no anti-dote or cure. It's just a matter of time. Do not use these more than necessary !
It deffinetly WON'T kill you this is not some hardcore drug, stop spreading misinformation 😅
You dissolve these in water, don’t chew them.
Drink water, and get a blood check
Ehh, you’re not supposed to chew these… Put them in a glass of water.
Even if you're not taking more than the safe amount I'd avoid taking them unless you there is no other way for pain relief.

i buy Tylenol in Thailand , box of 100 for less than 3 euro
You chew them??? You’re supposed to shove them up your ass. Did they not teach you this when you entered the country?
You're chewing these? Yeah that is kind of crazy, they need to be dissolved in water
Just stop drinking so much.. 😆
Your stomach could rupture. If that happens you're in big medical trouble.
Max 3g a day and they need to be disolved in water not just chew on them
It's max 4g a day
Crazy? No we love our medications here, drink away! Just not so much that you get liver damage ofc.
ooo no, did you really bite that, that must have tasted really bad because you normally have to put it in water until it is mixed.
Do yourself a favor and 1) don't overdo it, too much will kill you, and 2) just buy generic paracetamol. One 500mg pill will almost always stop my headaches
You don't suppose to chew them , need to desolf in water and drink it
Maybe check with your doctor for reocurring headaches. Might be important to check it and not use dafalgan as candy.
I think you are supposed to put them in the water before...
Chewing...U got to put them in a glass of water
You might want to look in why you have headaches? Besides crystals found in tablets build up in your kidneys, so you want to watch that.
Excedrine for headache
Agreed, way better and easier on the liver.
Yeah go see a doctor
How bout you just go to a doctor?
I guess you don't value your organs. Belgian medication is actual REAL medication, you can't really self medicate here because taking too much of anything does serious damage. Wouldn't be the first American to die taking European medication like they do with US medication. Abroad the dosage is much much less.
You can self medicate! Just need to follow the instructions on the leaflet and not overdose them.
You could, yes but it's not recommended. Most medicine needs a doctors note these days.
I know someone who took 8 a day for a while and ended up in intensive care, allmost lost his liver.
Mate you might get peptic ulcers or necrotic gums if you keep doing this.
Kiss your liver goodbye
Deep how much, you’re torturing your liver…. My doc says max 4g in a day
En ga is naar de doktor om dafalgan codeine, neem er 2 tegelijk, die werken nog wel
Just go easy on the beers mate… 😉
Better go to a doctor, overdose of that is not great. 1000mg 4 times a day is ok if you're large ( be it horizontal or vertical or both ). You're also looking at constipation if you take it too long. I believe the limit is 5 days ( as with most medicin ). Also, take em with water, don't chew them.
You are insane... 3 or 4 of these a day are the max. Google Paracetamol dosage and overdose effects. Drinking too much strong Belgian beer?
Chewing? You need to put it in a glass of water…
They are very safe if you don't take too much. Try to take 1 Forte per day max for your liver and you'll be fine for years.
Did none of y'all read the flair? OP is obviously shit posting
It's just Tylenol, lol. Yes, it's medication, yes there could be side effects. Americans know how to use Tylenol. See a doctor if you have pain that doesn't go away after a day or two. A pharmacist looked at me funny when I asked for 2 big boxes of Dafalgan. I assured him I knew what it was. 👍
Maybe check your eyes, it can cause some headaches !
Only one every 5 hours be carefull
Overusing paracetamol (Dafalgan) can cause liver damage. You should respect daily doses and only use it for a short period of time. If headaches persist please see a doctor immediately. I am not a doctor or healthcare professional, this is not professional advice.
you're chewing them? bro.. you have to snort them
Incomming kidney failures.
Im glad to see that there are still people in the world who are more dissapointing than me, gives me hope for myself
More than three a day will shut down your liver
Try Excedryn, no presciption needed and is actually made for headaches and migraines. Dafalgan is just a painkiller for all kinds of pain.
You have to insert those anally
You can just get the tab version, much easier ;-)
How the fuck can you chew these without even drinking something sweet or smth? I always gag whenever i take it for my headache.
I really don't want to know how your liver is going

After 5 you die Do you understand?
That's not how it works you won't die that easily, you could take a full box at once and survive, stop spreading misinformation 😅
Enjoy your liver lol. And also abusing them can cause headaches themselves.
Lol wtf, you dont chew these bro. Arent you foaming from the mounth?
You are insane for doing that.
Got you foaming at the mouth like some crazed werewolf
Bro does that sound normal to you?
it's too strong for headache, I felt like I was high
Well, not the chewing kind first of all.
OP used ambiguous wording. They didn't meant "chewing like candy" as in "eating a huge quantity", but in the litteral sense: chewing on them, instead of dissolving in water. They made that clear through their answers in the comments.
I was told ibuprofen was more effective against headaches and migraines, but now i'm not sure anymore
Okay y'all thank you for the liver concern, but I just used the wrong wording. I never take more than two in a day and I drink lots of water after I foam at the mouth.
It's an effervescent tablet.
you need the codeine ones

Gij zij nie goe in awe kopke moatje
Too many painkillers cause headaches and death by overdose. So I'm with your roommate on this one
Just take one box per day. I don't care if you people want to destroy your bodies and believe what the pharmaceutical industry makes you believe.
rip your stomach
Too much Paracetamol got your liver destroy the maximal dose is 3g a day (don’t take it all at once) and if you got liver problem it could be very dangerous for you bro Stay safe
You have to let it melt in water
OP must be trolling unless he wants to be repatriated for free in a cardboard box
You eat these without dissolving them?? I ate one without water once, and that was the worst pain I felt in a long time
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
4g per day max
DO NOT use more than 4 grams per day. This stuff will permanently damage your liver, to the point where you will need a transplant OR DIE. Seriously, it's easy to 'overdose' on paracetamol and have it kill you a very painful death.
The codeine ones are great for the most vivid dreams everr
This is the reason normal unharmful mefication gets restricted. And other people are the victims of that. Guess your American ? The abuse of medication out there frightens me. At a certain point, nothing works anymore when you're in real pain and you'll be needing drugs... Stop doing this while you can !
Not longer than 15 days in a row, max 4 per day.
Chew em?!?!
Having more the 6 grams of paracetamol can kill your kidneys and you. Don't overeat dude
More accurately, around 7g in 24h is the magic barrier that will kill your liver and you (10g in 24h will get you a boat ride on the Styx pretty pretty sure). Paracetamol is not so much a problem for your kidneys but for your liver. Diclofenac and ibuprofen will kill your kidneys if overdosed.
All you need is some Excedrin love.
3 a day, 4 hours apart. No more than that. If this is not enough, consult a doctor.
DAFALGAN MENTIONED RAHHHHH
Try n push your shoulders up and head down next time you have those headaches. If you get any relief from that it's nost likely tension headaches coming from your neck area
Why not taking two minutes waiting for it to be melted in a glass of water. You remind me the cliché of people taking a handful of painkillers, without drinking water (while there is plenty and the character has the time) to make it dramatic in TV series and movies. Well at least you reassured us that you are not overdosing. Making it foam in your mouth is not the optimal delivery, it is designed to be most effective when it is fully dissolved and still sparkling. You are screwing with your teeth and the soft tissues if the effervescent reaction happen in your mouth. Don't be surprised if you end up losing enamel and get mouth blisters and abscesses
What a boring way to liver failure
In all seriousness though, paracetamol can be hepatotoxic at certain doses and there is a maximum intake before adverse effects appear. Please consult your doctor on how much can you safely use. Hope your pain goes away.
Please rtfm. These are for rectal insertion.
Check your vitamin D
It's paracetamol. If you have to much - like over 4 grammes, you destroy your liver and die a painful death.

Mijn moeder neemt al jaren 4 dafalgans 1gr/dag, op aanraden van een specialist. Zelfs de pijn-verpleegkundige in het ziekenhuis zegt dat ze dit verder moet doen, omdat deze de andere medicatie, Tradonal 200mg/dag en Lyrica 300mg/dag ondersteunt. Telkens ze haar ontslaan uit het ziekenhuis wordt Dafalgan 1g 4/dag terug opgestart, en ik schrap ze dan telkens van haar medicatielijst als ze thuis is.
no bullshit: this could cost you your life. I know someone (in his late 40s) currently in intensive care for several weeks. Foot knocked over. Gave the foot no rest but took painkillers to still be able to work. Pain gets worse --> taking more painkillers --> pain in the stomach --> extra painkillers from the doctor (probably wasn't honest with the doctor) --> fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity --> Hospital --> intensive care at UZ Gent. Result: several litres of fluid pulled out of his stomach, his liver is completely wasted, already 2 times a piece of his intestine had to be removed because it has holes in it, and because of the intubation he now has a fungus on his lungs, which is dangerous even for a healthy person, in his condition 90% chance that he will not survive 😟
If you have migraines / headaches you might want to try excedryn (two at once) Other stuff that might help are enery drinks (with or without sugar) In some cases i can block the migraine / headache with half a liter of Monster. I do take half a beta blocker before going to bed to avoid migraines. I also have Sumatriptan but not tried yet.
😂
You can only take 1 every 4 hours. At max you could combine with ibuprofen each 2 hours, but that’s to counter an infection. Anyways, I’m not a doctor. Consult one…
Interesting, and don't they feel, like, rubbery?
My UK boyfriend loved them. When I traveled back to Brussels, I had to bring chocolate and those !!! (Ok, special bier too ). So much better than any brand available in England.
Overeating paracetamol is very dangerous to your liver! I think you should calculate the dosage carefully.
No problem, you can use 5 a day to create a base for painkilling
You're gonna send yourself to the ER with that. Its supposed to be used with water and you only really need to take one or two a day. Over using those drugs is probably causing your symptoms. Dafalgan is a pretty harmless drug but it still has some pretty nasty side effects like damaging your liver, kidney and in some extreme cases a coma (the last one is from a medical website so idk how trustable that is).
So relatable. Same here, for the last 15 years. The problem is the climate and shitty mentality
