The injection into the vein should be made slowly. N / a and I / m injections of Cardiamidum are painful, to reduce soreness, sometimes novocaine can be pre-injected into the injection site (adults 1 ml of 0.5-1% solution, children-according to age).

The highest doses for adults-inside and under the skin a single 2 ml (60 drops), daily-6 ml (180 drops). The highest single dose under the skin and into the vein in case of drug poisoning is 5 ml.

Convulsions of various origins.

With an overdose of Cardiamidum, seizures are possible.

Cardiamidum stimulates the central nervous system and especially the centers of the medulla oblongata — respiratory and vasomotor. The excitation of the respiratory center is partly due to the reflex effect associated with the excitation of the chemoreceptors of the carotid glomeruli. Under the influence of Cardiamidum, breathing becomes faster and deeper (especially if it is depressed), blood pressure increases if there is an initial hypotension.

The drug does not have a direct stimulating effect on the heart and vasoconstrictor effect. In large (toxic) doses, Cardiamidum can cause clonic seizures.
