Symptoms: Signs of overdose of Hyoscine-N-butylbromide may include

Patients may then experience a temporary subjective improvement but mild abdominal pain possibly indicative of liver damage may persist.

A single dose of paracetamol of approximately 6 g or more in adults or 140 mg/kg in children may cause hepatocellular necrosis.

This may lead to complete irreversible necrosis and subsequently to hepatocellular insufficiency, metabolic acidosis and encephalopathy, which may in turn progress to coma and death.

Concurrent rises in liver transaminases (AST, ALT), lactate dehydrogenase and bilirubin and an increase in prothrombin time, occurring 12 – 48 hours after ingestion, have been observed.

Clinical symptoms of liver damage are normally apparent after 2 days and reach a maximum after 4-6 days,Acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis may develop even in the absence of severe liver damage.

Treatment: If required, parasympathomimetic drugs should be administered.
Ophthalmological advice should be sought urgently in cases of glaucoma.
