TW nausea, vomiting

Has anyone else ever become nauseous and/or thrown up after paracetamol?

I’m talking only two 500mg Panamax at 11am and two more tablets at 4pm, so pretty sure I didn’t take too much or too close together. It was the second dose that caused problems.

I don’t see any recalls on the tablets but am not taking any more. Still feeling nauseous from yesterday.

If taken on an empty stomach, yes. That can make me nauseous - same with other types of pills and black tea!

Hmm… I had eaten a tiny bit but nothing substantial. Thanks, it’s a relief to know that it could just be that.

Does it also give you a headache?

That would the throwing up that gave you the headache I'm assuming - otherwise no

That came first which is weird

I've been taking 2 x 500mg panamax every four hours for the past week, and also ibuprofen and antibiotics. I have been experiencing some nausea which probably has been from the latter meds, but also felt it when I was only taking the panamax on an empty stomach. I hope it goes away soon.

Try to drink lots of water and have something to eat :)

I wonder if the lack of a coating on Panamax means it releases faster and is harder on the stomach.

Thanks, you too. I’m rehydrating and having some crackers.
