Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Crocin is a Paracetamol drug. Your friend has consumed 14 tablets of Paracetamol which is a very high dose. It can cause side effects like nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, low blood glucose level, headache, skin allergic rashes, and liver and kidney damage.

If liver damage is more, it leads to coma and sometimes a threat to life. There are some antidote drugs like N-acetylcysteine and Methionine available. Please take your friend to allopathy hospital for further physical evaluation. Do not delay to save him.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
