can i overdose on Lockets?
i had a very bad cold when I woke up this morning and on my way to my friends house i stopped at spar and bought 2 packets of lockets, honey and lemon flavour, they did not have Tunes
Anyway that was at about 12:00 and its now 3:50ish and I've had both packets, my cold has not gone and my head is really hurting. I also feel really sick and my heart seems to feel tight and beating a bit too faster. I told my friend this and she said that it was possible to die of lockets and i should go see a doctor. I dont wanna do that but i'm feeling reallllllly bad and am a bit worried cos on the back of the packet it says i should not exceed 3 packets in 24 hours and I have 2 in a less than 4.
Im not going to die am I???

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
my gf ate 3 packets of lockets...

Stomach cramps. Temperature. Vomitting. Headache. Fever... etc...

Lasted 3-4 days.

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
best way to solve colds is loads of oranges and vitamin C. This could be placebo, but it always works with me. Oh, that and plenty rum.

Read the packet. See if it says you can die.

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
They only contain a minimal amount of medication so i severely doubt it.
Phone NHS direct if you are actually worried, but they will probably laugh at you...
http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
And if you have a cold don't waste money on such rubbish, they are only good for mild sore throats and blocked noses. Get Lemsip max strength or something.

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
I'm not familer with lockets but most cough lozenges I've seen have a sufficient but not lethal dose of active ingrediants (like menthol etc). Generally it's low enough that these idiots who eat them like lollies wont kill themselves. However, given you've had an excessive quantity in a short period I'd be inclined to say it's probably going to have negative but not lethal side effects, something along the lines of what JJ said.

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
Yes you can overdose on lockets. Anything in large enough quantities can be toxic. Even water is toxic, and should be labelled as such clearly on the outside of the bottle. Did you consult the toxicity data sheets provided? Did you carry out a risk assessment, and follow standard operating procedures?

Re: can i overdose on Lockets?
"Too much water can kill you."
"Yeah, so you drink a little water instead."
"water" in Russian is "voda", and to say "little water" you would use the diminutive suffix "-ka": "vodka".

Little soothers - definitely. But then I am Divorced from Reality.
I never leave home without one, two or sometimes three packets and I'm not dead yet - well at least no one's told me.

Great choice for thread bumping.
Why don't you revisit the thread where Marilyn makes gay advances to members of GD?

Are Lockets better than Wrights pies if I want to overdose or should I try bacon, cheese and tomato sandwiches?
