calcium channel blocker overdose

Antidote: Ethanol Symptoms Stage 1 (0.5 to 12 hours) consists of neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms; people may appear to be intoxicated, exhibiting symptoms such as dizziness, incoordination of muscle movements, nystagmus, headaches, slurred speech, and confusion. Irritation to the stomach may cause nausea and vomiting.[1] Over time, the body metabolizes the poison into other toxins. Stage 2 (12 to 36 hours) is a result of accumulation of organic acids formed by the metabolism of the poison and consists of increased heart rate, high blood pressure, hyperventilation, and metabolic acidosis. Additionally low calcium concentrations in the blood, overactive muscle reflexes, muscle spasms, QT interval prolongation, and congestive heart failure may occur. If untreated, death most commonly occurs during this period.[1] Stage 3 (24 to 72 hours) kidney failure is the result of this poisoning. Symptoms include acute tubular necrosis, red blood cells in the urine, excess proteins in the urine, lower back pain, decreased or absent production of urine, elevated blood concentration of potassium, and acute kidney failure.[2][3] If kidney failure occurs it is typically reversible, although weeks or months of supportive care including hemodialysis may be required before kidney function returns.[1]
