Here is what you need to know about poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of unspecified nonopioid analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic:

  1. Poisoning - Poisoning can occur when an individual takes an excessive amount of medication or when a medication is taken unintentionally. Symptoms of poisoning can range from mild to severe and may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, seizures, and coma. If you suspect poisoning, seek medical attention immediately.

This can result in inadequate pain relief, fever reduction, or inflammation control. Underdosing can occur if an individual does not follow the prescribed dosage or if the medication is not effective for the individual's condition. If you are experiencing inadequate relief from your medication, talk to your healthcare provider.

To reduce the risk of poisoning, adverse effects, and underdosing, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and frequency of your medication.
