Abstract
- We report a case of non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis after overdose of doxylamine succinate. A 22-year-old woman with reactive depression had an overdose of doxylamine with suicidal intent. She had decreased mental state, confusion, convulsion, vomiting, tachycardia, pupil dilatation, and ocular flutter. Serum creatine phosphokinase concentra-tion was 6,752 IU/L initially, increased to maximum (165,590 IU/L) at the third day, and then rapidly decreased and returned to normal 2 weeks after intoxication. Acute renal failure occurred but was resolved without hemodialysis. Rhabdomyolysis associated with renal failure is a rare but serious complication after doxylamine overdose.
