TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Chlormequat poisoning is not without risk: examination of seven fatal cases JO - Journal of forensic and legal medicine A1 - Nisse, P. A1 - Majchrzak, R. A1 - Kahn, J. Ph A1 - Mielcarek, P. A. A1 - Mathieu-Nolf, M. SP - 1 EP - 3 VL - 36 IS - N2 - Chlormequat chloride is a plant growth regulator. Chlormequat poisoning clinically resembles anticholinesterase insecticide poisoning. The cholinergic symptoms result from direct action on nicotinic and muscarinic receptors and not from inhibition of the cholinesterase activity. This case series confirms the extreme gravity of chlomequat poisoning with a risk of death in the hour following ingestion.
