The effects of overdose on lansoprazole in humans are not known (although the acute toxicity is likely to
be low) and, consequently, instruction for treatment cannot be given. However, daily doses of up to 180 mg
of lansoprazole orally and up to 90 mg of lansoprazole intravenously have been administered in trials
without significant undesirable effects.
Please refer to ADVERSE EFFECTS for possible symptoms of lansoprazole overdose.
In the case of suspected overdose, the patient should be monitored. Lansoprazole is not significantly eliminated by haemodialysis. If necessary, gastric emptying, charcoal and symptomatic therapy is recommended.
