Reduction in the rate of infusion usually allows rapid resolution of these effects. But if the following symptoms occur
- a persistent, clinically significant drop in blood pressure
- a persistent, clinically significant tachycardia
- vagal reaction with bradycardia, nausea and vomiting
the infusion should be stopped until the situation returns to normal. Wait for
one hour and then recommence at half the previous flow rate.
