Overdosage

Overdosage and treatment: Glimepiride overdose may lead to severe and sometimes life-threatening hypoglycemia and may require hospitalization in some cases. Serious symptoms of the drug overdoses are medical emergencies. The patients must be admitted in the hospital suddenly. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia can be treated with oral carbohydrates. Adjustments in dosage, meal patterns or physical activity may be necessary. More severe episodes with coma, seizure or other serious neurologic impairment may be treated with glucagons (intramuscular or subcutaneous) or concentrated glucose solution (intravenous). If life-threatening amounts have been ingested, detoxification (by, e.g. gastric lavage, activated charcoal) will be necessary. Sustained administration of carbohydrates may be needed. Closely observation is necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery.
