Full Prescribing Info

Overdosage

Overdosage with potassium salts may cause hyperkalemia and alkalosis especially in the presence of renal disease. It is necessary to recognize that hyperkalemia is usually asymptomatic and may be manifested only by an increased serum potassium concentration and characteristic electrocardiographic changes (peaking T-waves, loss of P-wave, depression of S-T segment and prolongation of the QT interval). Late manifestations include muscle paralysis and cardiovascular collapse from cardiac arrest.
