Qvar Overdose: An Overview
Qvar® (
beclomethasone inhaler) is a prescription medication used to prevent
asthma attacks. It is part of a group of medications known as inhaled corticosteroids.
The effects of a Qvar overdose will vary depending on a number of factors, including how much Qvar was taken and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, or street drugs.
If you happen to overdose on Qvar, seek medical attention immediately.
Qvar Overdose: What Does the Research Say?
It is not known exactly what to expect from a Qvar overdose. In animal studies, extremely large Qvar doses did not cause any deaths. While it appears that a short-term overdose of Qvar is not likely to be dangerous, taking large doses of Qvar long-term may cause serious problems.
Treatment for a Qvar Overdose
Given that there have been so few cases of people taking too much Qvar, the best treatment for a Qvar overdose is also not known. Many people who overdose on Qvar will not require any treatment. If long-term overdose has occurred, treatment may be necessary. This treatment may include supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.
