Chỉ số theo dõi
Monitor for anticholinergic side effects (e.g. confusion, constipation).
Quá liều
Symptoms: Dilated pupils, flushed face, excitation, hallucinations, confusion, ataxia, intermittent clonic convulsions, coma, cardiorespiratory collapse (children); extreme difficulty in speech and swallowing, cycle of CNS excitation, seizures and postictal depression (adult). Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. In the absence of seizures, performing early gastric lavage (with an endotracheal tube with cuff inflated in place to prevent aspiration of gastric contents) is beneficial. In case of seizures, may give diazepam (in adults) or phenobarbital (in children). Mechanical respiratory assistance may be necessary.
Tương tác

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Dimenhydrinate is a monoethanolamine derivative with CNS depressant, anticholinergic, antiemetic, antihistaminic and local anaesthetic effects. Its exact mechanism of antiemetic action is unknown; however, it is believed to inhibit acetylcholine. It has a central anticholinergic activity that blocks the chemoreceptor trigger zone, diminishes vestibular stimulation, and reduces labyrinthine function. Additionally, it competes with histamine in binding for H1-receptor sites on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract. Onset: Antiemetic: 15-30 minutes (oral); immediate (IV); 20-30 minutes (IM). Duration: 3-6 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Well absorbed. Time to peak plasma concentration: 1-2 hours. Distribution: Widely distributed into body tissues. Crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Volume of distribution: 3-4 L/kg. Plasma protein binding: 70-85%. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver to metabolites (diphenyl-methoxy-ethylamine, diphenyl-methoxy-acetic, diphenyl-methoxy-N-methylamine). Excretion: Via urine, as metabolites. Elimination half-life: 5-8 hours.
