| ===Animal data===
| |
| Oral doses of 240 mg/kg and 264 mg/kg in male and female mice, respectively, and 2390 mg/kg and 2250 mg/kg in male and female rats, respectively, caused significant lethality. ''[[Felodipine overdose#Overdosage topics|Return to top]]''

| |
| ===Human experience===
| |
| In a suicide attempt, one patient took 150 mg Felodipine together with 15 tablets each of atenolol and spironolactone and 20 tablets of nitrazepam. The patient's blood pressure and heart rate were normal on admission to hospital; he subsequently recovered without significant sequelae. ''[[Felodipine overdose#Overdosage topics|Return to top]]''

| |
| ===Symptoms===
| |
| Overdosage might be expected to cause excessive peripheral vasodilation with marked hypotension and possibly bradycardia. ''[[Felodipine overdose#Overdosage topics|Return to top]]''
| |
| <br>
| |
| ===Severe hypotension===
| |
| If severe hypotension occurs, symptomatic treatment should be instituted. The patient should be placed supine with the legs elevated. The administration of intravenous fluids may be useful to treat hypotension due to overdosage with calcium antagonists. In case of accompanying bradycardia, atropine (0.5-1 mg) should be administered intravenously. Sympathomimetic drugs may also be given if the physician feels they are warranted.

| ===Hemodialysis===
| |
| It has not been established whether Felodipine can be removed from the circulation by hemodialysis. ''[[Felodipine overdose#Overdosage topics|Return to top]]''

| |
| ===Treatment===
| |
| To obtain up-to-date information about the treatment of overdose, consult your Regional Poison-Control Center. Telephone numbers of certified poison-control centers are listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR). In managing overdose, consider the possibilities of multiple-drug overdoses, drug-drug interactions, and unusual drug kinetics in your patient.
