Intravascular haemolysis and acute renal failure induced by nomifensine

Nomifensine is a widely used antidepressant agent with few side-effects but haemolytic anaemia with acute renal failure has been reported with both intermittent therapeutic dosage and self-inflicted overdose. We report here a case of acquired immune haemolytic anaemia with acute renal failure induced by second exposure to a single capsule of nomifensine.
