    Overdose

    dutasteride. According to clinical studies, in volunteers, single doses of dutasteride up to 40 mg / day (80 times higher than therapeutic) for 7 days did not cause concern about the safety of their use. In clinical studies, doses of dutasteride 5 mg/day were used for 6 months without additional adverse reactions compared with the use of dutasteride at a dose of 0.5 mg/day.
    There is no specific antidote, therefore, in case of a possible overdose, symptomatic and supportive therapy is carried out.
    Tamsulosin. There have been reports of acute overdose of tamsulosin hydrochloride at a dose of 5 mg, which resulted in acute arterial hypotension (systolic blood pressure 70 mm / Hg), vomiting and diarrhea, which were treated with fluid infusions, after which the patient felt relief on the same day. In case of acute arterial hypotension that occurs after an overdose of tamsulosin hydrochloride, support for the activity of the cardiovascular system should be provided. The patient in this condition should take a horizontal position in order to restore blood pressure and normalize the heart rate. If this does not help, plasma substitutes should be prescribed, and, if necessary, vasoconstrictors. It is necessary to monitor the function of the kidneys and carry out galopidrimuval therapy. Dialysis may not be effective because tamsulosin hydrochloride is almost completely bound to plasma proteins.
    In case of overdose, in order to prevent absorption, the patient must be induced to vomit. If large doses of the preparation  are taken, it is necessary to perform a gastric lavage, give activated charcoal and a laxative, such as sodium sulfate.
