Micardis HCT Overdose

Treatment for a Micardis HCT Overdose

The treatment for a Micardis HCT overdose will vary. If the overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." However, there is no readily available treatment that can remove Micardis HCT quickly once it has been absorbed into the body. Therefore, in these cases, treatment for the overdose involves supportive care. This type of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Micardis HCT overdose may include:
 
  • Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
  • Medications to increase blood pressure
  • Other treatments based on complications that occur
  • Close monitoring of the heart and lungs.
     
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Micardis HCT.
