Symptoms are often preceded by persistent diarrhea and abdominal pain, and a characteristic symptom is the green discoloration of urine and tongue.

In case of taking a higher dose of Blackcurrant Flavored Chlorchinaldin than recommended, the patient should contact their doctor.

Treatment in case of overdose includes inducing vomiting and gastric lavage, as well as symptomatic treatment.
