==Overdosage==
In clinical trials, inadvertent overdosage with AGGRASTAT occurred in doses up to 2 times the recommended dose for initial infusion doses. Inadvertent overdosage occurred in doses up to 9.8 times the 0.15 mcg/kg/min maintenance infusion rate.
 
The most frequently reported manifestation of overdosage was bleeding, primarily minor mucocutaneous bleeding events and minor bleeding at the sites of cardiac [[catheterization]] [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1)].
 
Overdosage of AGGRASTAT should be treated by assessment of the patient’s clinical condition and cessation or adjustment of the drug infusion as appropriate.
 
AGGRASTAT can be removed by [[hemodialysis]].<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = AGGRASTAT (TIROFIBAN) INJECTION, SOLUTION [MEDICURE INTERNATIONAL INC] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=fe0ced75-ccbf-4d2e-bd0d-b57e60ab913f | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 6 February 2014 }}</ref>
