Overdosage
Symptoms: Headache, anxiety, tremor, nausea, tonic muscle cramps, palpitations, tachycardia and cardiac arrhythmias. Management: Consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal in severe cases. Determine acid-base balance, blood glucose and electrolytes. Monitor BP, heart rate and rhythm. For haemodynamically significant cardiac arrhythmias, the preferred antidote is a cardioselective β-blocker, but should be used w/ caution in patients w/ history of bronchospasm. Admin a vol expander when the β2-mediated reduction in peripheral vascular resistance significantly contributes to the fall in BP.
Drug Interactions
Prolonged muscle-relaxing effect of other sympathomimetics (e.g. suxamethonium). Increased risk of hypokalaemia by co-admin w/ corticosteroids, diuretics or xanthine derivatives. Partial or total inhibition of effects w/ non-selective β-blockers.
