Body weight? 400mg total or 800mg total? Recommended daily dose is 5mg/kg body wt.. If you weigh 80Kg and ingest 800mg, you've only taken 2x the daily, so probably nothing as long as there are no other factors.

This is the overdose info on this pill. I do not think that 400mg is going to kill you and you should be fine
A specific antidote does not exist. Symptomatic treatment such as restoration of water and electrolytes balance should be initiated in case of overdose.
In case of overdose, transient elevation of serum LDH, GPT and alkaline phosphatase may occur
