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