ABSTRACT

Isoniazid (INH) is an integral component of treatment of tuberculosis. An acute overdose is potentially fatal and is characterized by the clinical triad of repetitive seizures unresponsive to the usual anticonvulsants, metabolic acidosis with a high anion gap and coma. The diagnosis of INH overdose should be considered in any patient who presents to emergency medical services (EMS) with the triad. We report a patient presenting with multiple generalised tonic clonic (GTC) convulsions with severe metabolic acidosis as a manifestation of INH toxicity. ©

ABSTRACT

Two cases are reported in which depression was associated with the use of calcium channel blocker, nifedipine. In one instance, a patient became unresponsive to treatment with nortriptyline when nifedipine was introduced. In both cases, the depression resolved following discontinuation of nifedipine.

The Alprazolam was available in large amount in form of "Physicians Samples" as her elder sister was a medical representative. The patient was successfully managed.
