| ==Overdosage==
| |
| There has been only limited experience with overdosage of INTEGRILIN. There were 8 patients in the IMPACT II study, 9 patients in the PURSUIT study, and no patients in the ESPRIT study who received bolus doses and/or infusion doses more than double those called for in the protocols. None of these patients experienced an intracranial bleed or other major bleeding.

| Eptifibatide was not lethal to rats, rabbits, or monkeys when administered by continuous intravenous infusion for 90 minutes at a total dose of 45 mg/kg (about 2 to 5 times the recommended maximum daily human dose on a body surface area basis). Symptoms of acute toxicity were loss of righting reflex, dyspnea, ptosis, and decreased muscle tone in rabbits and petechial hemorrhages in the femoral and abdominal areas of monkeys.

| From in vitro studies, eptifibatide is not extensively bound to plasma proteins and thus may be cleared from plasma by dialysis.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = INTEGRILIN (EPTIFIBATIDE) INJECTION, SOLUTION [MERCK SHARP & DOHME CORP.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=5ad82e30-50d8-450c-8a2a-b4b507ed1ce2 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = 5 February 2014 }}</ref>
