Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Incompatible with a Sulfonamide treatment. The sulfonamides inhibit the conversion of the primary metabolite of procaine acid, the para-aminobenzoic acid in dihydrofolic acid. The para-aminobenzoic acid can inhibit the action of sulfonamides
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
Symptoms
An important overdose by fast intravenous injection can cause a stimulation of the CNS evolving to clonic convulsions. Then, a phase of depression is observed which can lead in serious cases to a respiratory blockage
Treatments
Apply current measures of reanimation with intravenous injection of a barbiturate of short duration to control the muscular tremors, and envisage a source of oxygen to facilitate the respiration.
