Posted on Wed, 8 Feb 2017
Question: Hi,
My baby is 7 weeks old and have by mistake given overdose of domstal , 1ml for 3 times of 10mg/ml instead of 1mg/ml.Have given this dose for 3-4 times.My doctor said not to worry but wanted to know if there are any long term side effects.

The only thing I noticed is that the baby slept for long hours whenever I have given overdose.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely for any significant side effects to occur.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that Domstal is usually tolerated well and the mentioned overdose is unlikely to cause any significant problems. I do not expect any long term adverse effects.

I would not worry about the increased sleeping. It can occur and is not a cause for concern.

Just keep your watch. In case something seems out of place, it would be advisable to visit the ER.

Revert back to the recommended dose from now onward.

Regards
