Monopril-HCT Overdose

Treatment for a Monopril-HCT Overdose

The treatment for a Monopril-HCT overdose will vary. If the Monopril-HCT overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may use certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Dialysis may also be recommended once Monopril-HCT has been absorbed into the body.
 
Treatment also 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 may include:
 
  • Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
  • Medications to increase blood pressure
  • Other treatments based on the 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 Monopril-HCT.
