Quá liều
Symptoms: Cholinergic crisis characterised by excessive sweating, lacrimation, miosis, ciliary spasm, nystagmus, increased peristalsis, involuntary defaecation and urination, bradycardia, hypotension, muscle cramps, fasciculation, weakness, paralysis, tight chest, wheezing, bronchoconstriction, bradycardia, blood pressure drop, bronchospasm, paradoxical tachycardia; ataxia, convulsions, coma, slurred speech, restlessness, agitation and fear. Treatment: Supportive treatment. Assisted respiration and oxygen may be given as required. For severe poisoning, initiate stomach aspiration. Administer atropine 1-2 mg IV or IM for suppression of muscarinic effects, may be repeated until signs of mild atropism (e.g. dry mouth, mydriasis) appear. May antagonise effect with cholinesterase reactivators (e.g. pralidoxime).
Tương tác
Anticholinergics (e.g. atropine), TCA, tetracyclic antidepressants, neuroleptics, lithium, nondepolarizing muscle relaxant, and antihistamines may antagonise the effect of distigmine bromide. Decreased effect with aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g. neomycin, streptomycin, kanamycin), antiarrhythmic agents (e.g. quinidine, procainamide), ß-blockers, glucocorticoids and dipyridamole. Potentiated effect with esterase inhibitors. Prolonged effect with depolarising muscle relaxants (e.g. succinylcholine, decamethonium).
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Distigmine bromide, a quaternary ammonium compound, is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor that enhance the action of acetylcholine thereby increasing the tonicity and peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the wall tension of urinary bladder, sphincter, ureter and of the skeletal muscles and reduces intraocular pressure. Duration: Approx 24 hours (IM). Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: 5%. Metabolism: Hydrolysed by plasma esterases. Excretion: Oral: Via faeces (88%), urine (6.5%); IV: Via urine (85%), faeces (4%). Plasma elimination half-life: 70 hours (oral); 60 hours (IV).
