OVERDOSE

There have been no reported cases of overdosage with Visicol® Tablets. Purposeful or accidental ingestion of more than the recommended dosage of Visicol® Tablets might be expected to lead to severe electrolyte disturbances, including hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypernatremia, or hypokalemia, as well as dehydration and hypovolemia, with attendant signs and symptoms of these disturbances. Certain severe electrolyte disturbances may lead to cardiac arrhythmias and death. The patient who has taken an overdosage should be monitored carefully, and treated symptomatically for complications until stable.
