Tarka Overdose

Treatment for a Tarka Overdose

The treatment for a Tarka overdose will vary. If the Tarka overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may use certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." However, there is no readily available treatment that can remove Tarka quickly once it has been absorbed into the body. Therefore, in these cases, treatment involves supportive care. Supportive care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Tarka overdose may include:
 
  • Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
  • Medications to increase blood pressure or to treat an irregular heart rhythm
  • Other treatments based on the complications that occur
  • Closely monitoring the heart and lungs.

 

If you began treatment with Tarka and overdosed, and/or believe you may have overdosed, seek medical attention immediately.
