What would happen if you took 10 500mg paracetamol tablets?

It could very well be bad. The precise effect would depend on a number of factors, including:- how much paracetamol each tablet contained your weight, age and general state of health even when you last ate may have some influence Paracetamol is very easy to overdose on because its LD50 is relatively close to its TD50. LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%) is the dose at which 50% of the trial subjects (eg rats) died.

TD50 (Theraputic Dose 50%) is the dose at which 50% of the trial subjects showed a theraputic effect (in this case pain stopped) What this means in layman's terms is that it doesn't take much more paracetamol to kill you than it does to make you feel better. Even at sub-fatal doses you run serious risk of liver and kidney failure and other organ damage.

It could be lethal depending on the strength. Paracetamol poisoning occurs over the course of many days. You would die slowly from liver failure without medical attention.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
