Simbrinza Overdosage

If overdose with SIMBRINZA occurs treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. The patient's airway should be maintained.
Due to the brinzolamide component of SIMBRINZA, electrolyte imbalance, development of an acidotic state, and possible nervous system effects may occur. Serum electrolyte levels (particularly potassium) and blood pH levels must be monitored.
There is very limited information regarding accidental ingestion with the brimonidine component of SIMBRINZA in adults. The only adverse reaction reported to date was hypotension. It was reported that the hypotensive episode was followed by rebound hypertension.
Oral overdoses of other alpha-2-agonists have been reported to cause symptoms such as hypotension, asthenia, vomiting, lethargy, sedation, bradycardia, arrhythmias, miosis, apnoea, hypotonia, hypothermia, respiratory depression and seizure.
Paediatric population: Serious adverse reactions following inadvertent ingestion with the brimonidine component of SIMBRINZA by paediatric subjects have been reported. The subjects experienced symptoms of CNS depression, typically temporary coma or low level of consciousness, lethargy, somnolence, hypotonia, bradycardia, hypothermia, pallor, respiratory depression and apnoea, and required admission to intensive care with intubation if indicated. All subjects were reported to have made a full recovery, usually within 6-24 hours.
