Overdosage Information

Somnolence, tachycardia and headache have been reported with overdoses. In the event of overdosage, treatment should be started immediately.

Treatment

Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

Consider standard measures to remove any unabsorbed medicine in the stomach, such as adsorption by activated charcoal administered as a slurry with water. The administration of gastric lavage should be considered.

0,9% Sodium chloride solution is the lavage solution of choice, particularly in children.

In adults tap water can be used; however, as much as possible of the amount administered should be removed before the next instillation. Sodium chloride or saline cathartics draw water into the bowel by osmosis and therefore, may be valuable for their action in rapid dilution of bowel content. Loratadine is not cleared by haemodialysis to any appreciable extent. After emergency treatment, the patient should continue to be medically monitored.

Do not freeze.
