Robaxisal Overdose, Contraindications and Information - Methocarbamol and Aspirin

Toxicity due to overdosage of methocarbamol is unlikely; however, acute overdosage of aspirin may cause symptoms of salicylate intoxication.

TREATMENT OF

OVERDOSE

Supportive therapy for 24 hours, as methocarbamol is excreted within that time. If salicylate intoxication occurs, especially in children, the hyperpnea may be controlled with sodium bicarbonate. Judicious use of 5% CO ₂ with 95% O ₂ may be of benefit. Abnormal electrolyte patterns should be corrected with appropriate fluid therapy.

Hypersensitivity to methocarbamol or aspirin.
