Intentional or accidental ingestion of more than the recommended dose of FORTRANS powder for oral solution can result in severe diarrhoea and electrolyte imbalance, including hyponatremia and hypokalaemia, as well as dehydration and hypovolaemia with the signs and related symptoms.
In this case, the patient should be monitored and copious amounts of fluids, especially fruit juices, should be given. In rare cases of overdose resulting in severe metabolic imbalance, intravenous rehydration may be performed.
