Overdosage

There has been no experience of overdosage in human clinical trials. In clinical trials, doses of Cleviprex up to 106 mg/hour or 1153 mg maximum total dose were administered. The expected major effects of overdose would be hypotension and reflex tachycardia.

Discontinuation of Cleviprex leads to a reduction in antihypertensive effects within 5 to 15 minutes [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. In case of suspected overdosage, Cleviprex should be discontinued immediately and the patient’s blood pressure should be supported.
