One of the victims was a famous 33-year-old Zakaria Zerouali in Morocco. The second victim was the preparation of 25-year-old fitness instructor Donna Bishop in England.
Due to the fact that paracetamol poisoning is not uncommon, physicians are strongly advised not to keep the house a few paratsetamolsoderzhaschih drugs, and to be sure to keep in the medicine cabinet with drug acetylcysteine, which is an antidote for poisoning paratsetamolovom.
It should also be remembered that the one-time maximum dose of paracetamol - one gram, and daily - four grams. And in any case, do not mix with alcohol, paracetamol, since alcohol increases the toxicity of the drug and can cause death, even when receiving a daily dose.
