Other symptoms include urinary retention, reddening of the skin, and inhibition of gastrointestinal motility.
Other symptoms which occurred in animals and which may be encountered in humans include: shock, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, respiratory paralysis, clonic spasms, paresis of the striated muscle, coma, paralytic ileus and cystoparalysis.
Treatment: BUSCOPAN overdose symptoms respond to parasympathomimetics.
For patients with glaucoma, administer pilocarpine locally. If necessary, parasympathomimetics should be administered, e.g. neostigmine 0.5-2.5 mg i.m. or i.v.. Cardiovascular complications should be treated according to usual therapeutic principles. In case of respiratory paralysis: intubation, artificial respiration.
Catheterisation may be required for urinary retention.
Other overdosage symptoms should be treated with standard supportive therapy.
