What If I Take an Overdose?
At this time, it is unclear what to expect from an overdose with Trelstar. Because each injection contains a fixed amount of medicine, an overdose is unlikely. However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else may have overdosed on this or any other drug.(Click Trelstar Overdose for more information.)
