Overdosage of laxative

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I ingested castor oil in the morning with orange juice for a detox. The recommended quantity was 30 ml but I could have taken 45 ml by mistake. I am now experiencing watery stools. I had primarily taken the oil to deal with constipation. I do not have any other symptoms. Please advice.
