Overdose is unlikely because of the low content of ASA in the drug.
Excess dose of ASA is associated with a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Overdose is especially dangerous in elderly patients.
Symptoms of an overdose from mild to moderate severity: dizziness, tinnitus, worsening hearing, increased sweating (including profuse), nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, tachypnea, hyperventilation, respiratory alkalosis.
Treatment: gastric lavage, repeated intake of activated carbon, forced alkaline diuresis, restoration of water-electrolyte balance and acid-base state.
Symptoms of an overdose from medium to severe:
- respiratory alkalosis with compensatory metabolic acidosis;
- hyperpyrexia (extremely high body temperature);
- breathing disorders: hyperventilation, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, respiratory depression, asphyxia;
- violations of the cardiovascular system: heart rhythm disturbances, lowering of blood pressure, suppression of cardiac activity;
- violations of water-electrolyte balance: dehydration,the disturbance of kidney function from oliguria up to the development of renal failure, characterized by hypokalemia, hypernatremia, hyponatremia;
- impaired glucose metabolism: hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia (especially in children), ketoacidosis;
- noise in the ears, deafness;
- gastrointestinal bleeding;
- hematological disorders: from inhibition of platelet aggregation to coagulopathy, prolongation of prothrombin time, hypoprothrombinemia;
- neurological disorders: toxic encephalopathy and depression of the central nervous system (drowsiness, confusion, coma, convulsions).
Treatment: immediate hospitalization in specialized departments for emergency therapy - gastric lavage, repeated intake of activated carbon, forced alkaline diuresis, hemodialysis, restoration of water electrolyte balance and acid-base state, symptomatic therapy. When carrying out alkaline diuresis, it is necessary to achieve pH values between 7.5 and 8. Forced alkaline diuresis should be performed when the concentration of salicylates in the plasma is more than 500 mg / L (3.6 mmol / L) in adults and 300 mg / L (2, 2 mmol / l) in children.
