| ==Overdosage==
| |
| | |
| No cases of human overdosage with eplerenone have been reported. Lethality was not observed in mice, rats, or dogs after single oral doses that provided Cmax exposures at least 25 times higher than in humans receiving eplerenone 100 mg/day. Dogs showed emesis, salivation, and tremors at a Cmax 41 times the human therapeutic Cmax, progressing to sedation and convulsions at higher exposures.

| The most likely manifestation of human overdosage would be anticipated to be hypotension or hyperkalemia. Eplerenone cannot be removed by hemodialysis. Eplerenone has been shown to bind extensively to charcoal. If symptomatic [[hypotension]] should occur, supportive treatment should be instituted. If [[hyperkalemia]] develops, standard treatment should be initiated.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = INSPRA (EPLERENONE) TABLET, FILM COATED [G.D.
