The first symptoms may occur already after several minutes, however it depends on the type of the taken drug and its dose. An immediate reaction of witnesses and a medical emergency team is important. In the case of barbiturate overdose which is difficult to diagnose or other doubts it is necessary to contact a toxicological centre. Further hospital treatment depends on a patient’s state, testing for barbiturates, electrolyte levels and the hydration of a patient.
