Treatment for a Duexis Overdose
The treatment for a Duexis overdose will vary.
If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may administer certain medicines to induce vomiting or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Activated charcoal may be given to limit absorption of the medication.
Treatment will also involve supportive care, which consists of treating any overdose symptoms that occur, such as high blood pressure.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you or someone else may have overdosed on this medication.
