Overdosage with Meptin has been associated with tachycardia, tachycardiac arrhythmia, hypotension, nervousness, tremor, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis. In the event of any overdosage-related abnormalities are observed, Meptin should be discontinued and, if required, gastric lavage should be performed to remove any unabsorbed drug. Emergency treatment and general maintenance therapy should also be provided, if needed. In the event of serious tachycardiac arrhythmia has developed, β-blockers eg, propanolol may be effective, but administration of these drugs to asthma patients should be performed with care because β-blockers may increase airway resistance in these patients.
