(ringing in the ears), occur at plasma concentrations approaching 200
mcg/mL. Plasma concentrations of Acetyl Salicylic Acid (Aspirin) above
300 mcg/mL are clearly toxic.
In acute overdose, severe acid-base and electrolyte disturbances may
occur and are complicated by hyperthermia and dehydration.

is quickly followed by metabolic acidosis.

Treatment of Ecosprin Tablets Overdosage
Treatment of Ecosprin tablets (Generic Acetyl Salicylic Acid tablets) consists
primarily of supporting vital functions, increasing Salicylate elimination, and
correcting the acid-base disturbance.
Gastric emptying or lavage is recommended as soon as possible after ingestion,
even if the patient has vomited spontaneously. After lavage or emesis,
administer activated charcoal, as a slurry, if less than 3 hours have passed
since ingestion.
Severity of Ecosprin tablets (Aspirin) intoxication is determined by measuring
the blood Salicylate level. Monitor acid-base status with serial blood gas and
serum pH measurements. Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
In severe cases, hyperthermia and hypovolemia are the major immediate
threats to life.

mechanisms, decreased birth weight, and with perinatal
mortality.
