I worked as a medication aide for several years and I was told that MOST OTC meds can be taken 3 times more or stronger than what is actually on the dosing instructions. Is this really true? What is the amount of Zyrtec that would be considered an overdose?

Where did you hear that most of the OTC meds can be taken 3 times more or stronger? What would happen if Tylenol (acetaminophen) is taken 3 times or stronger?

Perhaps, I didnt word that correctly... For instance Ibuprophen... The OTC dosage states to take 1 tablet, 200 mg. every 4 - 6 hours and that 2 tablets may be taken but no more than 4 tabs in 24 hrs. That would be 800 mg in 24 hrs., but my roommate has 800 mg prescribed by his doctor and is to take 1 or 2 every 4 - 6 hrs ALONG with his prescribed Vicodan and at bedtime he adds a 10 mg Valium for sleep... Perhaps now you will understand what I was asking...
Thank you for your input.
