What are the Signs and Symptoms of Analgesic Overdose?
The symptoms of overdose differ among analgesics. For NSAIDs, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dizziness. Acetaminophen overdose initially presents with non-specific symptoms like nausea and vomiting, but can progress to jaundice and liver failure. Opioid overdose is often characterized by pinpoint pupils, unconsciousness, and respiratory depression.
