TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Case report: fatal verapamil overdosage despite intensive therapy and use of high dose intravenous calcium JO - Journal of human hypertension A1 - Li Saw Hee, F. L. A1 - Lip, G. Y. SP - 495 EP - 496 VL - 10 IS - 7 N2 - Although the initial treatment of choice in calcium antagonist poisoning is calcium, there has been controversy over the optimal regime of its administration. The administration of prolonged or regular, high doses of calcium has been suggested. We report a fatal case of verapamil overdosage which did not respond to intensive therapy and very high doses of intravenous calcium, despite achieving extremely high serum calcium levels.
