Hi & Welcome.

Dolo (Paracetamol) is commonly used for the treatment of headache, fever, joint pain, toothache and other conditions.

The maximum daily recommended dosage of Dolo is 4000mg.

It is unfortunate that your friend has taken 9 tablets which is overdosage and this seems to have resulted in suspected liver damage which is a medical emergency.

He/she needs medical attention at the earliest.
Please take him/her to the emergency room at the earliest. He must be treated promptly.

At home you can give him high salt water at home as a first aid to induce vomiting and bring out the unabsorbed tablets from his/her stomach.

Acetylcysteine is the specific antidote for Paracetamol poisoning, it must be promptly given to him/her in the hospital.
Hope this helps.

Wishing your friend a quick recovery.
