Overdose of Clomax-B Cream in details

When a dose is taken in higher dose than the recommended doses, it is called Overdose. Overdose always needs a clinical supervision. Any medicine or drug when consumed in Overdose produces untoward side effects on one or various organs in the body. A medicine is excreted in the kidney or metabolized in the liver most of the times. This process goes without any hurdles when taken in normal dose, but when taken in an overdose, the body is not able to metabolize it or send it out properly which causes the effects of anoverdose.

Pregnancy & lactation:

Pregnancy Category B

The disposition of 14C-Clomax-B Cream has been studied in humans and animals. Clomax-B Cream is very poorly absorbed following dermal application or intravaginal administration to humans.

In clinical trials, use of vaginally applied Clomax-B Cream in pregnant women in their second and third trimesters has not been associated with ill effects. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Studies in pregnant rats with intravaginal doses up to 100 mg/kg have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to Clomax-B Cream.

High oral doses of Clomax-B Cream in rats and mice ranging from 50 to 120 mg/kg resulted in embryotoxicity (possibly secondary to maternal toxicity), impairment of mating, decreased litter size and number of viable young and decreased pup survival to weaning. However, Clomax-B Cream was not teratogenic in mice, rabbits and rats at oral doses up to 200, 180 and 100 mg/kg, respectively.

Oral absorption in the rat amounts to approximately 90% of the administered dose.

Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used only if clearly indicated during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Nursing Mothers

When you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember, but you should take care that it should be well spaced from the next dose.

In chronic conditions or when you have a serious health issue, if you miss a dose, you should inform your health care provider and ask his suggestion.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
