What should I do if I have an overdose of Diclo Duo Combi?

The recommended dose of Diclo Duo Combi 75 mg + 20 mg is 1 tablet per day. Taking 4 tablets in 24 hours can be considered an overdose, although the definition of an overdose is not specified in detail.

The maximum allowable daily dose of omeprazole is 360 mg (applies to patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome), while in 4 tablets of Diclo Duo Combi 75 mg + 20 mg this amount is 80 mg). Undoubtedly, however, this is a situation that increases the risk of side effects and it is absolutely recommended to avoid using drugs in this way. If no more than 1 hour has passed since taking the drug, the administration of activated charcoal may be considered. Due to the potential toxic effect of diclofenac on the work of the kidneys, it is particularly dangerous for patients with impaired renal function. These people, if you take this amount of medicine, should absolutely contact your doctor and remain under his control. The body's reaction should be monitored, paying attention to the symptoms of an overdose of diclofenac, such as: headache, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, rarely diarrhea, confusion, agitation, coma, drowsiness, dizziness, tinnitus, fainting and sometimes convulsions. With omeprazole, symptoms of overdose included nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea and headaches. If you notice any alarming symptoms, you should immediately see a doctor.
