Eletriptan overdosage
Introduction
Overdosage
Overdosage
The elimination half-life of eletriptan is about 4 hours [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], therefore monitoring of patients after overdose with eletriptan should continue for at least 20 hours or longer while symptoms or signs persist.
There is no specific antidote to eletriptan.
It is unknown what effect hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis has on the serum concentration of eletriptan.[1]
