Janumet Overdose (Cont.)

Treatment for a Janumet Overdose

Treatment for Janumet overdose also varies. If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Treatment may also involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Janumet overdose may include:
 
  • Dialysis
  • Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
  • A sugar (glucose) solution to increase blood sugar
  • Other treatments based on complications that occur.
     
It is important that you seek prompt medical attention if you believe that you may have overdosed on Janumet.
