Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.

Overdose by the recommended route of administration is considered unlikely. Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting. Toxic symptoms include dyspnoea and cyanosis, possibly leading to asphyxia. Depression of the central nervous system, hypotension and coma may also occur.

Treatment of poisoning is symptomatic. Demulcents and diluents may be given if necessary but emesis and lavage should be avoided. Activated charcoal may be considered if the patient presents within an hour of ingestion.
