    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.

    Metoclopramide is the generic name for Maxalon (as paracetamol is to panadol).

    I'm pretty sure it's qid, or 4 times daily (so the same as panadol) usually. What does it say on your box?
