Flupentixol and melitracen tablets are an antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication used to treat symptoms of mild to moderate depression and anxiety. Overuse of flupentixol and melitracen tablets may lead to central nervous system abnormalities, cardiovascular reactions, gastrointestinal discomfort, mental disturbances, and liver or kidney damage. If any adverse symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is recommended.

Flupentixol-melitracen tablets are an anti-anxiety and antidepressant medication used to treat symptoms of mild to moderate depression and anxiety. Overdosing on flupentixol-melitracen tablets may lead to central nervous system abnormalities, cardiovascular reactions, gastrointestinal discomfort, mental disturbances, and liver or kidney damage. If any adverse symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is recommended.

1. Central Nervous System Abnormalities: Excessive dosage may excessively inhibit or stimulate the central nervous system, causing dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. In severe cases, seizures or coma may occur, disrupting neural signal transmission and potentially causing temporary or long-term impairment of brain function.

2. Cardiovascular Reactions: Drug overdose can interfere with cardiac rhythm, leading to palpitations, chest tightness, and abnormal blood pressure (either high or low). It may also cause arrhythmias or myocardial ischemia, increasing the risk of acute cardiac events.

3. Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Excessive medication can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This disrupts normal gastrointestinal motility and digestive function. Prolonged or severe vomiting may further lead to electrolyte and fluid imbalances.

4. Mental Disturbances: Excess drug components may disrupt neurotransmitter balance, causing anxiety, restlessness, hallucinations, and emotional instability. Some patients may experience worsening depressive symptoms, affecting normal cognition and behavior.

5. Liver and Kidney Damage: The drug is metabolized through the liver and kidneys. Overdose increases the burden on these organs, potentially elevating liver enzymes and causing abnormal kidney function indicators. Long-term or severe overdose may result in irreversible liver or kidney damage.

Take this medication only as prescribed by a physician. Do not adjust the dosage without medical guidance. Store the medication in a cool, dry place out of children's reach. Regularly monitor your health condition during treatment, and promptly adjust the treatment plan if any adverse effects occur.
