==OVERDOSAGE==
 
Signs of overdosage include: [[hypotension ]](which may progress to peripheral vascular collapse), [[postural hypotension]], [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], [[diarrhea]], [[constipation]], [[paralytic ileus]], [[urinary retention]], [[dizziness]], [[anxiety]], dry mouth, [[mydriasis]], [[blurred vision]], or [[palpitations]]. A rise in [[intraocular pressure]] may occur.
 
Pressor amines may be used to counteract excessive hypotension. Since patients being treated with ganglion blockers are more than normally reactive to pressor amines, small doses of the latter are recommended to avoid excessive response.
