Question : My daughter has drank - Dolopar-250 (Paracetamol Oral Suspension IP) around 20 ml. Is there some anti-dote or something I need to give immediately? Any immediate action?

Brief Answer: what is her weight Detailed Answer: Hi, What is the weight of your child? As dose depends upon the weight not age. XXXXXXX safe dose of paracetamol is 90mg/kg. Your child has taken 250*20=5000mg. If she has injested less than 150mg/kg then risk of toxicity is unlikely. You can induce vomiting if she has injested more than above, or take her to an ER. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
