OVERDOSE
Overdosage can produce sweating, salivation, nausea, tremors, and slowing of the pulse and a decrease in blood pressure. Bronchial constriction may develop in asthmatic patients.

For cases demonstrating severe poisoning, atropine is the pharmacologic antagonist to pilocarpine.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Miotics are contraindicated where constriction is undesirable, such as in acute iritis, and in those persons showing hypersensitivity to any of their components.
