Stiripentol can be replenished within 6 hours of missed use, and will be skipped if exceeded; If taking twice as much medication, central symptoms should be observed. If the overdose is significant, seek medical attention as soon as possible. It is recommended that family members participate in medication management to reduce the risk of accidental ingestion.
1、 Handling methods for missed services
1.1 Supplementary Service Rules
At least 6 hours before the next medication: take it as soon as possible and continue to take it at the same time next time.
Less than 6 hours before the next dose: skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to the original plan. Do not double the dosage.
1.2 Continuous Omission Handling
If the dose is missed continuously for ≥ 2 days, a doctor or pharmacist should be contacted to evaluate whether a dose adjustment plan is needed.
2、 Multi server processing method
2.1 Accidental ingestion of double dose in a single dose
If you accidentally take twice the dose once, you need to closely observe for 4-6 hours, mainly focusing on:
Whether there are central symptoms such as ataxia, drowsiness, and diplopia.
If consciousness is blurred or walking is unstable, seek medical attention immediately.
2.2 Multiple server situations
If taken more than twice a day, or if the total dose exceeds 1.5 times the daily prescription, seek medical attention as soon as possible and bring the medication packaging.
2.3 Support Measures
When there are no immediate symptoms after taking multiple doses, do not induce vomiting temporarily (to prevent aspiration), but reduce subsequent activities on the same day and avoid driving or operating machinery.
3、 Preventive advice
Take medication at a fixed time every day, using medication boxes or mobile alarm clocks to remind.
Family members should confirm whether the patient has taken medication to avoid repeated administration.
If a suspension is used, it should be accurately measured using a dedicated dropper to avoid dosage deviation.
