==Overdosage==
 
===Signs and Symptoms===
 
Platelet inhibition by prasugrel is rapid and irreversible, lasting for the life of the platelet, and is unlikely to be increased in the event of an overdose. In rats, lethality was observed after administration of 2000 mg/kg. Symptoms of acute toxicity in dogs included emesis, increased serum alkaline phosphatase, and hepatocellular atrophy. Symptoms of acute toxicity in rats included mydriasis, irregular respiration, decreased locomotor activity, [[ptosis]], [[staggering gait]], and [[lacrimation]].
 
===Recommendations about Specific Treatment===
 
Platelet transfusion may restore clotting ability. The prasugrel active metabolite is not likely to be removed by dialysis.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=5fe9c118-c44b-48d7-a142-9668ae3df0c6 | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=5fe9c118-c44b-48d7-a142-9668ae3df0c6 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 6 February 2014 }}</ref>
