How do I know if it’s expired or gone bad?

Can I take too much?

I didn’t read the instructions and drank the whole bottle! What do I do?
That was silly of you! The instructions clearly state that you should only take 10ml at a time. We cannot give you any clinical advice, but we can say that while this is not an ideal situation, it’s not the end of the world. You’re going to poop and potentially vomit a lot, but it will pass and you’ll definitely feel cleaned out after. You should seek out emergency medical help if at any point you start feeling dehydrated or unsafe.
