The reason is in the term itself; "Overdose".

A dose is a recommended amount you should take of a medicine (drug). If you take too much, it's no longer called a dose, it's called an overdose.

Depending on the medicine you're taking, an overdose can have different effects. It can stop your heart from beating, it can kill your brain, it can damage your lungs, it can kill your blood cells.

Always make sure to follow directions when taking medicine, overdoses can be avoided.
