It's crucial to be informed of the potential risks associated with an overdose. Overdose may be life-threatening in some cases. Time is of the essence, therefore, seek medical care immediately if you experience symptoms such as blurred vision, agitation, confusion, hives, seizures, tightness in chest or trouble sleeping.

In case you realize you have missed a dose, the first thing to remember is not to panic. Take one when you remember, but avoid taking it if it is almost time for the next dose. Missing a dose may sometimes result in minor side effects, so pay attention to any changes that you may feel. When in doubt, reach out to a healthcare provider for advice. To minimize chances of missing a dose in the future, consider creating a medication schedule.
