Before taking the BE Mine 250mg Tablet, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Signs of an overdose of BE Mine 250mg Tablet include feeling or being sick, stomach pain, diarrhoea, drowsiness, mental disorders, tiredness, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, high body temperature, low blood pressure, loss of muscle control, high blood sugar, changes in the blood (as seen in blood tests).

• A patient is advised to have a diet that increases serotonin levels which makes a person feel good & involves eating foods high in carbohydrates, especially the complex carbohydrates present in starchy food items like legumes (e.g., beans, lentils and peas), root vegetables (e.g., potatoes and carrots), pasta and bread. Eating such foods in combination with protein in meals will benefit.

• Deficiencies in B-complex vitamins such as thiamine, folate or folic acid, and B12 are common with alcoholism, and inadequate stores of other B vitamins and vitamin C frequently occur. A patient should take supplements and vitamins on consulting a doctor.

• Malnutrition is common during alcohol consumption and is revealed slowly and gradually. The patient becomes tired and develops a weaker immune system—which means they are more susceptible to infections. These problems need to be identified and treated during the recovery process—ideally by a team of healthcare professionals.

• The patient should change his drinking priorities and prefer drinks like apple cider, vanilla shake, mixing juice or lemonade with sparkling water etc.
