OVERDOSE AND TREATMENT
Symptoms of overdosage are severe hypotension, shock, stupor, bradycardia, electrolyte disturbances, and renal failure. After ingestion of an overdose, keep patient under close supervision, preferably in an intensive care unit. Monitor serum electrolytes and creatinine frequently. Measures to prevent absorption and hasten elimination such as gastric lavage, administration of adsorbents and sodium sulfate within 30 min after intake should be applied if ingestion is recent.
If hypotension occurs, place patient in the shock position and immediately give salt and volume supplementation. Treatment with angiotensin II should be considered. Bradycardia or extensive vagal reactions may be treated with atropine. The use of a pacemaker may be considered.
Imidapril and imidaprilat may be removed from the circulation by hemodialysis. The use of high-flux polyacrylonitrile membranes should be avoided.
