Red Yeast Rice Overdose

Treatment for a Red Yeast Rice Overdose

It is not known how best to treat a red yeast rice overdose. Therefore, treatment (if necessary) will involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For instance, if an overdose caused kidney problems, then supportive treatment would include using medications or procedures to improve kidney function.
 
It is important that you seek prompt medical attention if you believe that you may have overdosed on red yeast rice.
