RiniCold Max®

In case of overdose of RiniCold Max®, you should immediately consult a doctor. Prompt medical attention is critical, even if you do not experience any signs or symptoms.

Symptoms (due to the presence of paracetamol)

An overdose of paracetamol may cause liver failure, which may lead to the need for liver transplantation or death.

The hepatotoxic effect in adults occurs when taking paracetamol over 10-15 g.

If there are factors influencing the toxicity of paracetamol to the liver (see sections “Interaction with other drugs”, “Special instructions”), liver damage may occur after taking paracetamol in an amount of 5 g or more.

With long-term use of the drug in excess of the recommended dose, the drug may have a nephrotoxic effect (renal colic, nonspecific bacteriuria, interstitial nephritis, papillary necrosis).

During the first 24 hours after an overdose, the following symptoms may appear: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, pale skin, anorexia, convulsions, metabolic acidosis. After 1-2 days, liver damage is determined (pain in the liver area, increased activity of “liver enzymes”), and the development of carbohydrate metabolism disorders and metabolic acidosis is possible.

In severe cases of overdose, encephalopathy (impaired brain function), bleeding, hypoglycemia, cerebral edema, even death, the need for liver transplantation, and death may develop as a result of liver failure. It is also possible to develop acute liver failure with acute tubular necrosis, the characteristic signs of which are pain in the lumbar region, hematuria, proteinuria, while severe liver damage may be absent. Cases of cardiac arrhythmia and pancreatitis have been reported.

Treatment

Immediate hospitalization. If you suspect an overdose of RiniCold Max®, you must stop using the drug and immediately seek medical help. Symptoms may be limited to nausea or vomiting and may not be consistent with the severity of the overdose or the risk of organ damage. The level of paracetamol in the blood plasma should be determined, but not earlier than 4 hours after the overdose (earlier results may be unreliable).

Laboratory tests of liver microsomal enzyme activity should be performed at the beginning of treatment and then every 24 hours.

Symptomatic treatment:

within 1 hour after an overdose, it is recommended to lavage the stomach and take enterosorbents (activated carbon, etc.). If there is no vomiting before admission to the hospital, methionine can be used.

The administration of SH-group donors and precursors for the synthesis of glutathione - methionine is most effective in the first 8-9 hours after an overdose, acetylcysteine ​​- within 8 hours, because Over time, the effectiveness of the antidote decreases sharply. If necessary, acetylcysteine ​​is administered intravenously.

The need for additional therapeutic measures (further administration of methionine and acetylcysteine) is determined by the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, as well as the time elapsed after its administration.

In most cases, the activity of microsomal liver enzymes returns to normal within 1-2 weeks. In very severe cases, a liver transplant may be required.

Treatment of patients with severe liver dysfunction 24 hours after taking paracetamol should be carried out in conjunction with specialists from a poison control center or specialized liver disease department.

Caffeine

Symptoms of acute overdose:

Abdominal pain; vomit; flushes of blood to the face; fever; chills; excitation; insomnia; irritability; loss of appetite; weakness; tremor; increased muscle tone; state of altered consciousness; rave; hallucinations; increased blood pressure followed by hypotension, tachycardia; tachypnea; increased diuresis; hypokalemia; hyponatremia; hyperglycemia; metabolic acidosis; convulsions; myoclonus and rhabdomyolysis; supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.

Symptoms of chronic caffeine intoxication “caffeinism”:

irritability; insomnia; anxiety; emotional lability; chronic abdominal pain.

Chlorphenamine

Symptoms

Central nervous system depression, hyperthermia, anticholinergic syndrome (mydriasis, flushing, fever, dry mouth, urinary retention, intestinal paresis), tachycardia, hypotension, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, agitation, disorientation, hallucinations, psychosis, convulsions, arrhythmias. Rarely, patients with agitation, seizures, or comatose patients develop rhabdomyolysis and renal failure.

Phenylephrine

Symptoms

Nausea; vomit; irritability; excitation; insomnia; psychosis; convulsions; feeling of heartbeat; tachycardia; increased blood pressure; reflex bradycardia.

Interaction

Enhances the effects of MAO inhibitors, sedatives, ethanol.

Reduces the hypotensive effect of guanethidine, which in turn enhances the alpha-adrenergic stimulating activity of phenylephrine.

Antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, phenothiazine derivatives increase the risk of developing urinary retention, dry mouth, and constipation.

GCS increase the risk of developing glaucoma.

Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of diuretics.

Chlorpheniramine combined with MAO inhibitors and furazolidone can lead to hypertensive crisis, agitation, and hyperpyrexia.

Tricyclic antidepressants enhance their sympathomimetic effect; simultaneous administration of halothane increases the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmia.

Adverse reactions and overdose

Taking medication in some cases can provoke unwanted reactions. They may present with the following symptoms:

  • problems sleeping, insomnia;
  • dizziness, headache;
  • feeling of dry mouth, nausea;
  • allergies manifested by skin rashes.
