Drivers

Studies to study the ability of the preparation to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or other mechanisms have not been carried out. However, side reactions (eg allergic reactions, dizziness, convulsions) may occur, which may affect the ability to drive a car or other mechanisms.

Overdose

Overdose may be accompanied by symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract and an imbalance in water and electrolyte balance. These phenomena are treated symptomatically, paying attention to the correction of water-electrolyte balance. Cases of crystalluria have been reported, which can sometimes cause renal failure. Medoclav can be removed from the blood by hemodialysis.
