Full Prescribing Info
Overdosage
Signs and symptoms of overdose are associated primarily with Salbutamol. Acute overdosage with Ipratropium bromide is unlikely after oral inhalation because of the drug's low systemic absorption. Manifestations of overdosage include extensions of Salbutamol's common undesirable effects (e.g., seizure, angina, hypertension or hypotension, arrhythmias, palpitation, tachycardia, nervousness, dizziness, tremor, headache, sleeplessness or insomnia, dry mouth, fatigue, malaise, and nausea). Hypokalemia has also been reported; thus, plasma potassium concentrations should be monitored.
Discontinue use of the product and institute appropriate symptomatic therapy in cases of overdosage. Administration of a beta-adrenergic blocking agent may be appropriate, but use with caution if the patient is asthmatic. There is no adequate evidence to support the use of dialysis in the treatment of Salbutamol overdose.
