Shine J-Care Overdosage

Symptoms of methyl salicylate overdose: Salicylate intoxication may occur following excessive topical application of salicylates. Symptoms include dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, sweating, nausea and vomiting, headache and confusion and may be controlled by reducing dosage. Severe intoxication following overdose include hyperventilation, fever, restlessness, ketosis and respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. CNS depression may lead to coma, cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure may also occur.
Symptoms of camphor/menthol overdose: Ingestion of significant quantities is reported to cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness and coma; instant collapse in infants after the local application of camphor/menthol to their nostrils. Severe toxicity of camphor is characterized by seizures, delirium, visual hallucinations, celebral edema and status epilepticus. Systemic toxicity may include hypotension, tachycardia, respiratory failure and death.
Symptoms of capsaicin overdose: Capsaicin overdose can cause burning or stinging pain to the skin. If ingested, can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and burning diarrhea. Exposure to eye can produce intense tearing, pain and conjunctivitis.
Treatment: For methyl salicylate, menthol and camphor intoxication, the stomach should be emptied by gastric lavage or administration of oral activated charcoal. Fluid and electrolyte management is the mainstay of treatment with the immediate aim of correction of acidosis, hyperpyrexia, hypokalaemia and dehydration if present. Any convulsions must be controlled through supportive care including anticonvulsant therapy.
For capsaicin overdose, the primary treatment is removal of exposure by bathing the contacted surface with oily compound e.g. vegetable oil or petroleum jelly. Cold milk or water may be used to treat burning sensation.
