It would be best to bring him into your vet or an emergency clinic so they can safely induce vomiting if possible and treat him as needed. If you are unsure if he took a toxic dose of medication, you can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ (there is a fee for this service) however, due to the number of meds he ate, it would be best to just seek emergency care.
