Signs and Symptoms of Overdosage: Loperamide overdose may result in constipation, central nervous system (CNS) depression (e.g., drowsiness and dizziness), paralytic ileus (temporary absence of intestinal movement), and urinary retention (decreased urination).
In adults, reported overdosage within 24 hours resulted in nausea after 40 mg (20 capsules) and vomiting after 60 mg (30 capsules).
If the patient has taken more than the recommended dosage (i.e., more than 8 capsules per day), consult a doctor or a Poison Control Center right away.
