I saw a beta blocker overdose come into the ED (he had taken 3 pills instead of 1) and the ED doc used all of the available glucagon in the hospital with little affect. Click to expand... We carry 6mg, I have never had to give the second dose of 3mg. The initial 3mg has worked for me each time.

The protocol is 3mg Standing order, for symptomatic BB OD.
