Anzemet: What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider?

You should talk with your healthcare provider prior to taking Anzemet if you have:
 
  • An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia), especially long QT syndrome
  • Low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia)
  • Low magnesium levels in your blood (magnesium)
  • Any allergies, including allergies to food, dyes, or preservatives.
     
Also, let your healthcare provider know if you:
 
  • Are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant
  • Are breastfeeding.
     
Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about all other medicines you are taking, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

What If I Take an Overdose of Anzemet?

It is not known exactly what to expect from an Anzemet overdose. An overdose is unlikely, as most people are given just a few tablets of Anzemet at a time (due to the high cost of the medication). In one case, a person who took too much Anzemet developed low blood pressure, dizziness, and changes in the heart rhythm.
 
If you happen to overdose on Anzemet, seek medical attention immediately (see Anzemet Overdose).
