Treatment The health professional should consider contacting a poison control centre for additional information on the treatment of any overdose. No specific antidote is known. Treatment should consist of those general measures employed in the management of overdose with any antidepressant.
Establish and maintain an airway; ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Induction of emesis is not recommended. Due to the large volume of distribution of JAMP Paroxetine Tablets, forced diuresis, dialysis, hemoperfusion and exchange transfusion are unlikely to be of benefit.
Supportive care with frequent monitoring of vital signs and careful observation is indicated. An ECG should be taken and monitoring of cardiac function instituted if there is any evidence of abnormality. Patient management should be as clinically indicated, or as recommended by the national poisons centre, where available.
In managing overdosage, consider the possibility of multiple drug involvement. A specific caution involves patients taking or recently having taken JAMP Paroxetine Tablets who might ingest, by accident or intent, excessive quantities of a tricyclic antidepressant.
In such a case, accumulation of the parent tricyclic and its active metabolite may increase the possibility of clinically significant sequelae and extend the time needed for close medical observation. For management of a suspected drug overdose, contact your regional poison control centre.
