Prinzide Overdose (Cont.)

Treatment for a Prinzide Overdose

The treatment for a Prinzide overdose will vary. If the overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may administer certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." The healthcare provider may also recommend dialysis once Prinzide has been absorbed into the body.
 
Treatment of a person who has overdosed on Prinzide also typically 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 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 Prinzide.
