Specializes in Psychiatry

For : For 2 year to 6 years old, the recommendation is = 4.4 – 6.6 mg of sennoside at bedtime. Each ex-lax square had 15mg of sennoside. Thus he would have taken 90 mg of sennoside. So this is an overdose. For overdose contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. Us residents can call the us national poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Symptoms of overdose may include: severe stomach/abdominal pain or cramping, persistent nausea/vomiting/diarrhea. As, a mom, i would just bring him into the er. Take care.
