TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis complicating antihistamine overdose JO - Journal of toxicology - clinical toxicology A1 - Frankel, D. A1 - Dolgin, J. A1 - Murray, B. M. SP - 493 EP - 496 VL - 31 IS - 3 N2 - Antihistamines are common over the counter medications which are frequently involved in overdoses. The usual clinical course is dominated by the anticholinergic affects of these agents; it includes significant autonomic and central nervous system effects and direct cardiac toxicity (1). We report a case of a suicide attempt in a young adult male where ingestion of the antihistamines diphenhydramine and doxylamine was complicated by non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure.
