Contraindications
Patients with liver disease or asthma should avoid this combination of dextromethorphan, phenylephrine and triprolidine. It must not be given during an acute attack of asthma. It is also contraindicated in people taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or within 2 weeks of stopping such treatment, and in anyone with known hypersensitivity to phenylephrine hydrochloride or dextromethorphan hydrobromide. People with severe hypertension or severe coronary artery disease must not take it either.
Overdose
If someone takes too much of this medicine, admission to hospital is strongly advised. An overdose may cause respiratory depression, paranoid psychosis, delusions, hallucinations and convulsion. Treatment should include emptying the stomach by aspiration or gastric lavage. Nervous stimulation and convulsions should be treated with a sedative such as diazepam given intramuscularly. If marked excitation is present, a sedative such as diazepam or a short-acting barbiturate may be given.
A severe overdose of phenylephrine hydrochloride may produce hypertension, along with reflex bradycardia. Treatment includes early gastric lavage and symptomatic and supportive measures. The hypertensive effects may be treated with an alpha-receptor blocking agent (such as phentolamine mesilate 6 to 10 mg) given intravenously. The bradycardia is treated with atropine, preferably only after the blood pressure has been controlled.
