Full Prescribing Info
Overdosage
If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity (see Adverse Reactions and Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions), and standard supportive treatment applied as necessary.
Some patients accidentally taking efavirenz 600 mg twice daily have reported increased nervous system symptoms. One patient experienced involuntary muscle contractions. Administration of activated charcoal may be used to aid removal of unabsorbed efavirenz. There is no specific antidote for overdose with efavirenz. Since efavirenz is highly protein bound, dialysis is unlikely to remove significant quantities of it from blood.
Tenofovir can be removed by haemodialysis; the median haemodialysis clearance of tenofovir is 134 ml/min. The elimination of tenofovir by peritoneal dialysis has not been studied.
Because a negligible amount of lamivudine was removed via (4-hour) haemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and automated peritoneal dialysis, it is not known if continuous haemodialysis would provide clinical benefit in a lamivudine overdose event.
