Limited data exists on alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonist overdose. This report details the second documented case of doxazosin overdosage, emphasizing supportive care and patient recovery within 48 hours.

Area of Science:

Pharmacology
Clinical Toxicology

Background:

Alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonists, like doxazosin, are used to treat conditions such as hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Limited clinical data is available regarding the effects and management of overdosage with this drug class.

Observation:

This paper presents the second reported case of doxazosin overdosage in the medical literature.
The patient received supportive treatment following the overdose incident.

Findings:

The patient in this case of doxazosin overdosage recovered and was discharged from the emergency department within 48 hours.
Supportive care was the primary intervention for managing the overdosage.

Implications:

This case contributes to the scarce literature on alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonist toxicity.
