Overdosage
Overdosage
According to available evidence, the active substance of Yomesan, niclosamide is only slightly absorbed, so that toxic effects are not expected. Should a patient have taken a marked overdosage, for safety reasons the usual therapeutic measures for the treatment of poisoning should be applied (gastric lavage, symptomatic therapy).[1]
