Treatment of acute overdose

Adults with severe symptoms of poisoning and treatment of overdose are in the hospital.

First aid – corticosteroid treatment. Hormone therapy aimed at the restoration of all metabolic processes in the body. Acts on the heart, improving its performance, normalizes blood pressure. Corticosteroids stimulate the formation of red blood cells. Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect by stabilizing cell membranes.

Drugs magnesium and potassium compensate the lack of these micronutrients. Normalize heart rate and unstable blood pressure. Regulate metabolic processes in the myocardium. Provide the elasticity of blood vessels. Restore metabolic processes in cardiomyocytes (muscle cells of the heart).

Retinol (vitamin A) affects the functioning of internal glands, increases the body's resistance under pathological conditions. Normalizes metabolism. In children the normal growth and development.

Thiamine (vitamin b₁) – regulates protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Is the main vitamin for the recovery of the nervous system. Protects cells from the toxic effects of various substances.
