If a person takes too much Moban, overdose symptoms can include difficulty breathing, irregular heart rhythm, and low blood pressure. An overdose may also cause seizures and loss of consciousness. Treatment for a Moban overdose may include "pumping the stomach," giving certain medications, and administering supportive care (which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose).
Moban Overdose: An Introduction
Moban® (
molindone hydrochloride) is a medication that is used to treat
schizophrenia. As with all medicines, it is possible for a person to take too much Moban. The specific effects of a Moban overdose will vary, depending on a number of factors, including how much Moban was taken and whether it was taken with other medicines, drugs, or alcohol.
Symptoms of a Moban Overdose
Some commonly reported symptoms of an overdose of a phenothiazine (such as Moban) include:
- Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
- Seizures
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Drowsiness
- Difficulty breathing
- Unconsciousness
- Unusual body or facial movements.
Treatment for a Moban Overdose
The treatment for a Moban overdose will also vary. If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Treatment also involves supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Moban overdose may include:
- Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
- Medications to increase blood pressure or control arrhythmias and seizures
- Other treatments based on complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Moban.
