Still if a person takes in 1850mg of oleanz for how many hours he/she can survive if not given medication for 6-7 hrs?and what happens after taking such a dose?
Brief Answer:
Survival duration tough to predict or generalise..
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam
Thanks for getting back
The drug's action and metabolism is quite complex, hence survival period following toxic doses is tough to predict or generalize as in case of other drug toxicities and also there are no enough data or case reports to concretely say. As said earlier, the patient may go into respiratory or circulatory collapse in a day if not adequately treated. And after taking such dose,the patient may start to experience symptoms one by one as explained in previous query.
Hope I have answered your query.
Feel free to ask if any clarifications needed be or other health concerns
