Using a higher dose of Aqua pro injectione Polpharma than recommended
If the patient suspects that they have received too high a dose of the medicine, they should inform their doctor.
In patients with water balance disorders (e.g., hidden renal failure, alcoholism, conditions characterized by increased release of antidiuretic hormone), the administration of large amounts of water may cause water poisoning, which is characterized by symptoms of restlessness, inability to concentrate, lack of appetite, headaches, apathy, nausea, and vomiting.
If no corrective measures are taken immediately, seizures and loss of consciousness may occur.
In mild cases, complete cessation of water administration quickly leads to the disappearance of symptoms and normalization of serum sodium levels. In severe disorders, intravenous infusions of 3% sodium chloride solution or 25% mannitol solution in a volume of about 100 ml, in repeated doses, are necessary.
In case of any further doubts related to the use of this medicine, you should consult a doctor or nurse.
