Overdose of Iberogast

If an excessive amount of Iberogast® is taken, the normal dosage should then be taken as directed in the package insert. So far there is no evidence of negative effects of an overdose, but the alcohol content of Iberogast® should be considered as a negative influencing factor.

Skipped intake

If you forget to take Iberogast®, you should still proceed as described in the dosage instructions and do not double the dose next time.

Side effects

Side effects are possible with Iberogast® as with all drugs, but do not necessarily occur in all patients. In very rare cases, the following side effects may occur when taking Iberogast®: If one of these side effects occurs, the medication Iberogast® should be discontinued immediately and the doctor should be consulted, who will then decide on further necessary measures. In general, Iberogast® is a very safe drug with extremely rare side effects and is therefore highly recommended before stronger drugs are used.

Occasionally liver damage up to liver transplantation after taking Iberogast® has been reported.

Skin rash
Itching
Breathing difficulties

As a rule, Iberogast® has a stomach calming effect.However, since it contains 31% alcohol, it can cause intolerance and diarrhoea in some cases. In individual cases, certain ingredients can also have a laxative effect. In addition, the concentration-dependent mechanism of action on the intestinal muscles and the activation of the chloride channels at high concentrations or sensitive reactions to Iberogast® can contribute to diarrhea. In case of uncertainties, it is advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
