duration of use
The duration of use is determined by the attending physician. It depends on the type and severity of the disease.
If you take more than you should
If you suspect an overdose of large amounts of the drug, you should immediately inform your doctor. Depending on the severity of the overdose, the doctor may decide on any necessary measures.
Signs of acute or chronic overdose depend on the degree of salt and fluid loss.
An overdose can lead to a decrease in blood pressure and circulatory disorders when moving from a lying position to a standing position, electrolyte disturbances (decrease in potassium, sodium and chloride levels) or an increase in blood pH (alkalosis).
Severe fluid loss can lead to a lack of water in the body and, as a result of a decrease in the amount of circulating blood, to circulatory collapse and thickening of the blood (hemoconcentration) with a tendency to thrombosis.
The rapid loss of water and electrolytes can cause mental confusion.
