Overdosage

Common clinical manifestations of xanthine overdosage include nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures, often ending in death. Treatment of xanthine overdosage is symptomatic and supportive. It includes withdrawal of the drug. If seizures have not occurred following acute overdosage, the stomach should be emptied immediately by inducing emesis or by gastric lavage, followed by administration of activated charcoal and cathartic. If the patient is having seizures, an adequate airway should first be established and maintained. Seizures may be treated with intravenous diazepam, Phenobarbital or in combination. There is no adequate evidence to support the use of dialysis in the treatment of Doxofylline (Doxofree) overdose.
