Overdose
Symptoms: there have been cases of intentional and unintentional overdose with Zonegran ® in adults and children.

In other cases, an overdose was accompanied by the following symptoms: drowsiness, nausea, gastritis symptoms, nystagmus, myoclonus, coma, bradycardia, impaired renal function, arterial hypotension and respiratory depression. A very high concentration of zonisamide in blood plasma (100.1 μg / ml) was observed approximately 31 hours after an overdose of Zonegran ® and clonazepam. A patient with an overdose of these drugs developed coma and respiratory depression. However, after 5 days, he regained consciousness, and he had no complications.

Zonisamide has a long T1 / 2, in connection with which the symptoms of its overdose can be persistent. Studies of the treatment of overdose have not been conducted, however, it is known that hemodialysis reduces the concentration of zonisamide in plasma in patients with renal failure and can be considered as a means of treating overdose.
