Hello Doctor,

 

What happens if I accidentally take 1600mg of Lodine? Is it dangerous?

 

Answered by Dr. May Oo Wai

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. The maximum recommended dose of Lodine (etodolac) is 1000mg. Taking 1600mg can increase the risk of side effects and potentially cause serious issues. Symptoms to watch for include drowsiness, vomiting, shortness of breath, stomach pain, stomach bleeding, and possible kidney or liver problems.

2. Additionally, an overdose can lead to anemia. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. It's important to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage to minimize health risks.

 

Thanks
