cytarabine injection - 2 G/20 ML SINGLE-DOSE VIAL Overdosage

OVERDOSAGE

There is no antidote for overdosage of Cytarabine Injection. Doses of 4.5 g/m2 by intravenous infusion over 1 hour every 12 hours for 12 doses have caused an unacceptable increase in irreversible CNS toxicity and death.

Single doses as high as 3 g/m2 have been administered by rapid intravenous infusion without apparent toxicity.
