abstract="Calcium channel blockers are among the most widely used drugs in cardiovascular medicine. Amlodipine, which is both cost-effective and taken once daily, is one of the most commonly prescribed agents. Although peripheral edema is a well-known side effect of amlodipine, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with amlodipine is very rare. Herein, we describe a 24-year-old female case of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema after ingestion of 300 milligram of amlodipine orally for a suicide attempt. The patient was successfully treated with fluid replacement, inotropic drugs, and mechanically ventilation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Turkey. © 2017.
