What Are The After Effects Of Eslo Overdose?
Question: My friend took more than 30 tablets of ESLO 5mg. In hospital now. What are his chances of survival ? What are implications ? So worried..
Brief Answer:
Be reassured he would completely recover with good medical care :)
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Hoping ad the crucial first 36 hours have already passed , your friend general condition should have stabilised and he should be on path of recovery.
As I had said before there is no anti dote directly available for amlodipine, at the same time it's not very dangerous and life threatening medication. However because of its prolonged action due to the high dose your friend has consumed , longer than usual monitoring is required .
Let me know the present status so I can guide you for the future course of action.
