Abstract:
Normeperidine, having a longer half-life than meperidine, can accumulate faster. Its excitatory neurotoxicity is manifest with administration of multiple meperidine doses or in cases of renal failure. This is a report of the lethal effects of normeperidine in a patient with renal failure who had abused meperidine.
