and use machines.
None known
4.9 Overdosage
Symptoms
Hexetidine is a bactericide and fungicide.
No adverse events have been reported in overdose other than those seen
in normal use. There are no reports of alcoholic intoxication from
overdose with hexetidine.
Hexetidine, at the strength present in hexetidine products is non-toxic.
Acute alcoholic intoxication is extremely unlikely; however it is
theoretically possible that, if a massive dose were swallowed by a small
child, alcoholic intoxication may occur due to the ethanol content.
There is no evidence to suggest that repeated, excessive administration
of hexetidine would lead to hypersensitivity-type reactions.
Management
Treatment of overdose is symptomatic, but rarely required. In the event
of accidental ingestion of the contents of a bottle by a child, a doctor
should be consulted immediately. Gastric lavage should be considered
within two hours of ingestion and management should relate to
treatment of alcoholic intoxication.
