Hello!
yes any of medicine in overdose of it is dangerous.
8 tablets a time is also an overdose.
It may show excessive sleepiness so if you see any such symptoms urgently go for an emergency help.
There is no anti dote but can be prevented by harming by treating the harm already done.

If you’re at risk for a heart attack or stroke, blood thinners can be lifesaving medications. But they also come with a serious side effect, too: the risk of dangerous heavy bleeding.

Migraine headaches are often described as pounding, throbbing pain. They can last from 4 hours to 3 days and usually happen one to four times a month. Along with the pain, people have other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light, noise, or smells; nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and upset stomach or belly pain.
A viral infection may cause severe throat pain also, if its symptoms are persisting then seek an immediate consultation and stay healthy.
