Astepro Overdose

Astepro^™ (azelastine hydrochloride) is a medication approved to treat seasonal or year-round nasal allergies (known as allergic rhinitis). It is part of a group of medications known as antihistamines. As with all medicines, it is probably possible to overdose on Astepro. The specific effects of an overdose will vary, depending on a number of factors, including the Astepro dosage and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, or street drugs.

 

It is not known exactly what to expect from an overdose of Astepro. Taking an entire bottle (or even several entire bottles) of Astepro all at once is unlikely to cause serious or long-lasting problems in adults. In animal studies, very large Astepro doses (equivalent to 460 times the maximum Astepro dosage in humans) caused the following effects:

 

Because Astepro is an antihistamine and can cause drowsiness, serious problems are most likely to occur if other medications or substances that also cause drowsiness are taken at the same time.
