| ==Overdosage==
| |
| In case of overdose, most likely reflected in hemorrhagic complications or suggested by excessively high aPTT values, Iprivask therapy should be discontinued. Emergency procedures should be instituted as appropriate (for example, determination of aPTT and other coagulation levels, hemoglobin, the use of blood transfusion or plasma expanders).
| |
| | |
| No specific antidote for Iprivask is available; however, the anticoagulant effect of desirudin is partially reversible using thrombin-rich plasma concentrates while aPTT levels can be reduced by the IV administration of 0.3 µg/kg DDAVP (desmopressin). The clinical effectiveness of DDAVP in treating bleeding due to desirudin overdose has not been studied. In an open, pilot, dose-ascending study to assess safety, the highest dose of desirudin (40 mg q12h) caused excessive hemorrhage.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = IPRIVASK (DESIRUDIN) KIT [MARATHON PHARMACEUTICALS, LLC] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=d768eca6-b25d-4aec-905f-b6a89e89ff29 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = 3 February 2014 }}</ref>
