Taking a higher dose of Normosan fix than recommended
The main symptoms of overdose or abuse are severe abdominal pain and severe diarrhea leading to fluid and electrolyte loss. In case of taking a higher dose of the medicine than recommended, a doctor should be consulted immediately. The doctor will recommend appropriate treatment (supportive treatment with intensive hydration, monitoring of electrolyte levels, especially potassium). This is especially important in elderly patients.
Prolonged use of high doses of anthranoid-containing medicines may lead to the development of toxic hepatitis.

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Normosan fix can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Allergic reactions may occur: itching, hives, local or generalized rash. Senna bark and senna leaf may cause abdominal pain and cramps, as well as watery stools, especially in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. These symptoms are often the result of overdose and, in such cases, the dose should be reduced.
In patients with gastroesophageal reflux, the condition may worsen, and heartburn may increase.
Prolonged use of the medicine may cause reversible pigmentation changes in the colon mucosa (pseudomelanosis coli).
Prolonged use may lead to water and electrolyte balance disorders and may result in the development of proteinuria and hematuria.
During treatment, urine color may change to yellow or reddish-brown (depending on urine pH), but this symptom has no clinical significance.
The frequency of side effects is unknown (cannot be determined based on available data).
