Symptoms: One case of bloody diarrhea with abdominal pain, associated with the oral intake of 75 g piracetam daily, was most probably related to the extreme high dose of sorbitol contained in the used formulation.
No other case was reported that would point to additional adverse events specifically related to an overdose.
Treatment: In acute, significant overdose, the stomach may be emptied by induction of emesis. There is no specific antidote. Treatment for an overdose will be a symptomatic treatment and may include hemodialysis. The extraction efficiency of the dialyser is 50 to 60% for piracetam.
