If the person's<unk>  is mild or moderate,<unk>  dosage is reduced or stopped entirely. If the<unk>  is severe,<unk>  may need to be removed from the body. The removal of<unk>  is done in a hospital emergency department. It may involve: *Gastric lavage. A tube is placed through the nose or mouth into the stomach. The tube is used to remove<unk>  that has not been digested yet. It may also be used to put medicines directly into the stomach to help stop<unk>  from being absorbed. *Use of an artificial kidney to clean the blood (dialysis). This is usually done only in the most severe cases. *Diuretic medications such as furosemide and hydration via intravenous normal saline appear to be effective in speeding the removal of<unk>  and also rehydrate patients who've lost fluids. *Hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is widely advocated as a means of reducing the risk of permanent neurological sequelae following<unk>  poisoning. Although hemodialysis clearly enhances the elimination of<unk> , it is unclear whether this translates into improved patient outcomes. People may be sent home once their<unk>  level is less than 1.5 mEq/L and they have no symptoms.
