10 OVERDOSAGE
In one reported incident of acute overdose with SOMAVERT during pre-marketing clinical studies, a patient self-administered 80 mg/day (2.7 times the maximum recommended maintenance dosage) for seven days. The patient experienced a slight increase in fatigue, had no other complaints, and demonstrated no significant clinical laboratory abnormalities.
In cases of overdose, administration of SOMAVERT should be discontinued and not resumed until IGF-1 levels return to within or above the normal range.
