OVERDOSAGE

Following an acute overdosage, toxicity may result from phenyltoloxamine citrate or Phenylgesic.

Phenylgesic

In Phenylgesic overdosage: dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necrosis, hypoglycemic coma, and thrombocytopenia may also occur.

Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis and general malaise. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion.

In adults, hepatic toxicity has rarely been reported with acute overdoses of less than 10 grams or fatalities with less than 15 grams.

Treatment

A single or multiple overdose with phenyltoloxamine citrate or Phenylgesic is a potentially lethal overdose, and consultation with a regional poison control center is recommended. Immediate treatment includes support of cardiorespiratory function and measures to reduce drug absorption. Vomiting should be induced mechanically, or with syrup of ipecac, if the patient is alert (adequate pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes).

If the dose of Phenylgesic may have exceeded 140 mg/kg, acetylcysteine should be administered as early as possible. Serum Phenylgesic levels should be obtained, since levels four or more hours following ingestion help predict Phenylgesic toxicity. Do not await Phenylgesic assay results before initiating treatment. Hepatic enzymes should be obtained initially, and repeated at 24-hour intervals. Methemoglobinemia over 30% should be treated with methylene blue by slow intravenous administration. The toxic dose for adults for Phenylgesic is 10 g.
