Full Prescribing Info
Overdosage
Symptoms: The signs and symptoms are mainly due to the anticholinergic (atropine-like) activity of cinnarizine.
Acute cinnarizine overdoses have been reported with doses ranging from 90 to 2,250 mg. Vomiting, alterations in consciousness ranging from somnolence to stupor and coma. Extrapyramidal symptoms and hypotonia are the most commonly reported signs and symptoms associated with a cinnarizine overdose. In a small number of young children, seizures developed. Clinical consequences were not severe in most cases, but deaths have been reported after single and polydrug overdose involving cinnarizine.
Treatment: There is no specific antidote to cinnarizine and in the event of overdosage, treatment is symptomatic and supportive care. The administration of activated charcoal should only be considered in patients presenting within one hour of taking a potentially toxic overdose (i.e., more than 15 mg/kg).
