Amaryl Overdosage

If the patient has taken too much Amaryl or an additional dose, there is a danger of hypoglycaemia (see Signs of hypoglycaemia under Precautions) and therefore, should instantly consume enough sugar (e.g. a small bar of sugar cubes, sweet juice, sweetened tea) and inform a doctor immediately. When treating hypoglycaemia due to accidental intake in children, the quantity of sugar given must be carefully controlled to avoid the possibility of producing dangerous hyperglycaemia. Persons in a state of unconsciousness must not be given food or drink.
Since the state of hypoglycaemia may last for some time, it is very important that the patient is carefully monitored until there is no more danger. Admission into hospital may be necessary, also as a measure of precaution. Show the doctor the package or remaining tablets, so the doctor knows what has been taken.
Severe cases of hypoglycaemia accompanied by loss of consciousness and coma are cases of medical emergency requiring immediate medical admission into hospital. It may be helpful to tell the patient's family and friends to call a doctor immediately if this happens to the patient.
