If the patient suffering from an overdose is conscious, then it is necessary to rinse his stomach and give a sufficient amount of sorbent drugs.
In severe cases, hemodialysis may be used, the efficacy of which is 90% within six hours.
If the patient has CNS disorders - for example, a convulsive syndrome - then it is appropriate to prescribe a symptomatic treatment with diazepam.
Interactions with other drugs
If the treatment of Urosept is prolonged, the half-elimination of theophylline may be prolonged, in connection with the increase in its content in the blood to 40-80%.
Urosept increases the plasma content of caffeine (magnification factor 2-4).
Urosept can potentiate the action of medications such as warfarin, cimetidine, rifampicin.
With the combination of Urosept and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the probability of developing a convulsive syndrome may increase.
Anti-acid and Sucralfate impair the absorption of Urosept, so the gap between the use of such drugs should be about 2.5 hours.
The combination with aminoglycosides results in a synergistic antimicrobial effect.
