Cerebral infarction associated with oral verapamil overdose.

N Samniah1, F Schlaeffer.   

Abstract

Verapamil is a widely used calcium channel blocker. Side effects with oral use are usually mild, however, major hemodynamic complications and death can occur if the drug is given in overdose. We describe a case of cerebral infarction associated with attempted suicide with verapamil overdose, the first reported to our knowledge.
