Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use, but swallowing an antiseptic is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. It can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Clean the wound under running water first, then apply.
Cover a clean wound with a sterile dressing and change it if it becomes wet or dirty.
Drink plenty of water.
It thins mucus better than any syrup.
Steam inhalation helps congestion and costs nothing.
Measure the dose with the cup supplied.
