Symptoms: Most reports of toxic signs and symptoms when use NSAIDs overdose are mild to moderate and include GI distress, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, tinnitus, confusion, headache, and blurred vision. Severe poisoning may result in hypertension, acute renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, cardiovascular collapse, and cardiac arrest.
Treatment: Treatment of NSAID toxicity is primarily supportive and symptomatic. In addition to supportive measures, the use of oral activated charcoal may help to reduce the absorption of the NSAID. However, hemodialysis may be necessary in cases of NSAID-induced prolonged or severe renal failure.
