Overdose

In cases of overdose, diarrhea is possible. Other symptoms of overdose are unlikely, since the absorption of ursodeoxycholic acid decreases with increasing dose, and therefore most of it is excreted in the faeces.

If diarrhea occurs, the dose should be reduced; if diarrhea persists, treatment should be discontinued.

There is no need for specific measures. The effects of diarrhea should be treated symptomatically, with fluid and electrolyte balance restored.
