DY-G Liquid

Name: DY-G Liquid

Overdosage

Signs and Symptoms:  Restlessness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia, irritability, and headache are typical symptoms resulting from a xanthine drug overdose.  Marked overdosage with resulting severe vomiting, dehydration, excessive thirst, tinnitus, cardiac arrhythmias, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, and generalized clonic and tonic convulsions.  Cardiovascular collapse has also occurred, with some fatalities.  Seizures have occurred in some cases associated with very high theophylline plasma concentrations, without any premonitory symptoms of toxicity.

Treatment:  There is no specific antidote for overdosage with drugs of the xanthine class.  Symptomatic treatment and general supportive measures should be instituted with careful monitoring and maintenance of vital signs, fluids and electrolytes.  The stomach should be emptied by inducing emesis if the patient is conscious and responsive, or by gastric lavage, taking care to protect against aspiration, especially in stuporous or comatose patients.  Maintenance of an adequate airway is essential in case oxygen or assisted respiration is needed.  Sympathomimetic agents should be avoided but sedatives such as short acting barbiturates may be useful.

Dyphylline is dialyzable and although not recommended as routine procedure in overdosage cases, hemodialysis may be of some benefit with severe intoxication is present or when the patient has not responded to general supportive and symptomatic treatment.

Dosage and administration

The usual adult dose is 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of liquid 3 or 4 times a day.  In severe cases, dosage may be doubled or tripled if necessary.  Maintenance dosage should be adjusted according to patient response.

Use in children

Although pediatric dosages of dyphylline are established, no firm dosage for a combination of dyphylline and guaifenesin USP can be recommended for children under the age of six.  Dosage for children over six may be calculated on the basis of 2 to 3 mg of dyphylline per pound of body weight daily in divided doses.
