It is not only prescribed medicines, it can also be an excess amount of over-the-counter medicines or herbal medicines. The different reasons for overdose can be: Taking multiple medications together. It may be intentional or unintentional. Unintentional overdose is when you have multiple medications, forget which medication to take, and take double or triple the dose of that particular medicine. Intentional overdose can be due to physical or psychological stress.

Make the person lie on one side. Pull their leg upward so that the hip and knee joints are at 90° angles. Push the head and chin upward to keep the airway clear. Observe their breathing and pulse rate. When the person reaches the emergency department, physical examinations and various lab tests will be conducted. Prevention Tips Always read the medication label carefully before taking any medicine. If you have had an overdose, tell your doctor — it might be due to look-alike or sound-alike medications. Your doctor may prescribe alternatives. Store all medications in a locked area away from children. The outcome of an overdose depends on how much drug was taken, what kind of drug it was, and the status of various organs in the body.
