In general, gastrointestinal symptoms are the first to appear.

Diarrhea usually responds well to antisecretory anti-diarrheals like racecadotril (Tiorfan®); vomiting to classical antiemetics and abdominal pains to antispasmodics.

In severe cases, decontamination with activated charcoal (if administered within 3-4h after the poisoning) and a gastric lavage can be applied. However, these methods must be avoided in case of intense vomiting.

In general, these disorders resolve after a few days.
