Symptoms:
The symptoms of overdosage after submucosal injection of Oily Ферезол are not known, but are likely to be similar to symptoms observed after excessive exposure to Ферезол in other preparations. Absorption of Ферезол after application of dilute Ферезол solutions to extensive wounds has resulted in abdominal pains, dizziness, methaemoglobinaemia, haemoglobinurea, cyanosis, cardiac arrhythmias, ECG abnormalities, and may result in respiratory failure, circulatory failure, coma and death.
Treatment: There is no specific antidote for actute Ферезол overdose. Treatment of overdose is symptomatic and supportive. If the product has been swallowed, empty the stomach by aspiration and lavage, taking care to avoid perforation, before carrying out the above procedure.
Oily Ферезол Injection, BP is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to Ферезол, nuts and in particular almond oil or any component of the product. It should not be used over large areas, since sufficient amounts may be absorbed to give rise to toxic symptoms. Oily Ферезол Injection, BP is also contraindicated in neonates and children.
