    How many hours ago hun?? If it was more than 2hours I would be taking 2 more but if you aren't sure or comfortable taking it, call Nurse on Call or a local chemist. I took some Telfast the other day that did bugger all then rang the chemist to see if I could take some more of a different one and it was fine. Do you have some Nurofen? You could definitely take some of that as well. xoxox Hope you are feeling better soon.

    You're fine to take more Panadol, you can take 2 every 4-6 hours. Honestly, if you're certain you threw them up 5 minutes after taking them, I would have taken another dose. Paracetamol is a dangerous drug if taken in overdose but the recommended dose is fairly conservative if used over 48 hours or less.

    How many mg of Maxalon did you take?

    Maxalon = 10mg

    Actually techincally its called metoclopramide (pramin). In case that makes a difference.
