Overdose With Eletriptan

In studies before eletriptan was approved, eletriptan doses as high as 120 mg did not cause any serious side effects. However, it is thought that an eletriptan overdose might cause high blood pressure (hypertension) or other, more serious, heart problems.
 
Therefore, if you happen to overdose on eletriptan, seek medical attention immediately.
