Symptoms of hypernatremia include weakness, neuromuscular excitation, drowsiness, confusion, coma, sometimes even respiratory arrest. Metabolic alkalosis may manifest itself in decreased lung ventilation, neuromuscular excitation and tetanic convulsions.

In case of severe overdose with pronounced consequences, the administration of the drug “Rehydron” should be discontinued. A doctor’s consultation is necessary. Correction of electrolyte and fluid balance should be carried out on the basis of laboratory test data.

If the recommended doses are observed, the development of adverse reactions is unlikely. The development of allergic reactions is potentially possible. In patients with normal renal function, the risk of hypernatremia or hyperhydration when using the drug “Rehydron” is low. Vomiting is possible, which indicates that the drug was administered too quickly.
