Overdose Information with Xenical
Dangerous side effects can develop if you take too much weight loss medication. Overdose effects don’t appear to be as serious with Xenical. Other than the usual side effects, according to clinical studies, taking large doses of Xenical did not cause problems. You should still contact your healthcare provider if you think that you have taken an overdose of Xenical medication.
The effects of Xenical overdose will vary depending on various factors, including Xenical dosage and whether it is taken with medicines, alcohol, street drugs, or food. Xenical or orlistat is a prescription medication that was approved for weight loss aid.
Seek immediate medical attention if you happen to overdose on Xenical.
Symptoms of a Xenical Overdose
If you take too much diet and weight loss products, particularly stimulants, they can be very dangerous. This, however, does not appear to be the same with Xenical. For up to 15 days, people took large doses of orlistat, which is the active ingredient in Xenical, and according to clinical studies, they did not experience any problems except for the normal side effects of Xenical.
It is expected that you would experience the normal intestinal-related side effects of Xenical, if you take too much of the drug, even if they are more severe, especially if you eat a meal that contains high levels of fat while taking to much Xenical. It would be wise to stop eating fat for a few days, which may help to decrease the side effects that you normally experience.
The best treatment for Xenical overdose has not yet been developed; therefore, treatment will consist only of supportive care, if it is necessary. This kind of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur due to the overdose. One example of this, is if a person becomes dehydrated because he or she is experiencing severe diarrhea due to an overdose, the supportive treatment would include fluids and electrolytes to treat the dehydration.
If you think that you have taken an overdose of Xenical, seek medical attention promptly.
