| ==Overdosage==
| |
| | |
| No specific information on emergency treatment of overdosage is available for Sectral. However, overdosage with other β-blocking agents has been accompanied by extreme [[bradycardia]], advanced atrioventricular block, intraventricular conduction defects, hypotension, severe congestive heart failure, seizures, and in susceptible patients, [[bronchospasm]] and [[hypoglycemia]]. Although specific information on the emergency treatment of Sectral overdose is not available, on the basis of the pharmacological actions and the observations in treating overdoses with other β-blockers, the following general measures should be considered:
| |
| | |
| Empty stomach by emesis or lavage.
| |
| '''[[bradycardia]]''': IV [[atropine]] (1 to 3 mg in divided doses). If antivagal response is inadequate, administer isoproterenol cautiously since larger than usual doses of isoproterenol may be required.
| |
| Persistent hypotension in spite of correction of [[bradycardia]]: Administer vasopressor (e.g., [[epinephrine]], [[levarterenol]], [[dopamine]], or [[dobutamine]]) with frequent monitoring of blood pressure and pulse rate.
| |
| '''[[Bronchospasm]]''': A theophylline derivative, such as aminophylline and/or parenteral β2-stimulant, such as [[terbutaline]].
| |
| Cardiac failure: Digitalize the patient and/or administer a [[diuretic]]. It has been reported that glucagon is useful in this situation.
| |
| | |
| Sectral is dialyzable.
