Hyocimax Plus Overdosage
Hyocimax Plus tablets is made up of two medicines: Hyoscine
Butylbromide and Acetaminophen (Paracetamol).
Serious signs of poisoning following acute overdosage of Hyoscine
Butylbromide have not been observed in man.
In the case of overdosage, anticholinergic effects such as urinary
retention, dry mouth, reddening of the skin, tachycardia, inhibition of
gastrointestinal motility and transient visual disturbances may occur,
and Cheynes-Stokes respiration has been reported.

Hyocimax Plus Overdosage
In acute Acetaminophen overdosage, dose-dependent, potentially
fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal
tubular necrosis, hypoglycemic coma, and thrombocytopenia may
also occur.
Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may
include: nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, and general malaise. Clinical
and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until
48 to 72 hours post-ingestion.

Treatment of Hyocimax Plus Overdosage
In the case of oral poisoning, gastric lavage with medicinal charcoal
should be followed by magnesium sulfate (15%). Symptoms of Hyoscine
Butylbromide overdosage respond to parasympathomimetics.
For patients with glaucoma, pilocarpine should be given locally.
Cardiovascular complications should be treated according to usual
therapeutic principles. In case of respiratory paralysis, intubation and
artificial respiration should be considered. Catheterisation may be
required for urinary retention.
In addition, appropriate supportive measures should be administered as
required.

Treatment of Hyocimax Plus Overdosage
If an acetaminophen overdose is suspected, obtain a serum
acetaminophen assay as soon as possible, but no sooner than 4 hours
following oral ingestion. Obtain liver function studies initially and repeat
at 24-hour intervals. Administer the antidote N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as
early as possible. As a guide to treatment of acute ingestion, the
acetaminophen level can be plotted against time since oral ingestion on a
nomogram (Rumack-Matthew).
The lower toxic line on the nomogram is equivalent to 150 mcg/mL at 4
hours and 37.5 mcg/mL at 12 hours. If serum level is above the lower
line, administer the entire course of NAC treatment. Withhold NAC
therapy if the Acetaminophen level is below the lower line.

(Paracetamol). Hyoscine Butylbromide and Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) have both
been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category C.
There are limited data from the use of Hyoscine Butylbromide in pregnant women.
Animal studies are insufficient with respect to reproductive toxicity.

teratogenicity in rats at 200 mg/kg in the diet or in rabbits at 200 mg/kg by oral gavage
or 50 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection.

risk of major congenital malformations. It is not known whether Acetaminophen can
cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
