Akavar Overdose

If you believe you may have taken too much Akavar, seek immediate medical attention. Due to the caffeine and magnesium content in Akavar, an overdose could result in dangerous consequences (such as cardiac arrest, coma, or even death). If an Akavar overdose occurs, treatment will most likely involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.
