Common Over-the-Counter Medicines Can Be Fatal If Overdosed

Kathmandu. The word 'overdose' makes most of us think of drugs or intoxicating substances, but this is not the case. Even common medicines we take for fever, pain, cough, or blood pressure can be overdosed if taken in large quantities. Such carelessness can sometimes prove fatal.

When people need quick relief, they take two or three pills instead of one. They also take medicine three or four times a day instead of twice.
