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.
