Exubera Overdose (Cont.)

Treatment for an Exubera Overdose

The treatment for an Exubera overdose typically involves supportive care. This type of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for an Exubera overdose may include:
 
  • Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
  • A sugar (glucose) solution to increase the blood sugar levels
  • Careful monitoring of the heart and lungs
  • Other treatments based on the complications that occur.
     
It is important that you seek prompt medical attention if you believe that you may have overdosed on Exubera.
