TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Rhabdomyolysis after suicidal ingestion of an overdose of caffeine, acetaminophen and phenazone as a fixed-dose combination (Spalt N) JO - Journal of toxicology - clinical toxicology A1 - Michaelis, H. C. A1 - Sharifi, S. A1 - Schoel, G. SP - 521 EP - 526 VL - 29 IS - 4 N2 - Rhabdomyolysis without renal failure was noted after suicidal ingestion of 29 tablets of Spalt N containing 7.25 g of acetaminophen, 7.25 g of phenazone and 1.45 g of caffeine by a 29 year-old weighing 73 kg. The maximum serum creatine kinase was 1920 U/L, serum myoglobins were 49 to 167 ng/mL. Acetaminophen, phenazone and caffeine were quantified and identified in serum by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. It is suggested that rhabdomyolysis might have been caused by caffeine.
