Acute loxapine intoxication in a child

B R Hepler, R Solano, J R Weber

    Journal of Analytical Toxicology
    |September 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Thin-layer chromatography and GC confirmed Loxitane (loxapine succinate) ingestion in a child. Blood loxapine levels correlated with symptoms, and supportive care led to full recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Toxicology
    • Pediatric Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Accidental or intentional ingestion of medications in children presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Loxapine (loxapine succinate) is an antipsychotic medication with potential for toxicity in pediatric populations.

    Observation:

    • Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was employed to detect the presence of suspected Loxitane.
    • Gas chromatography (GC) was utilized for precise identification and quantification of loxapine in biological samples.

    Findings:

    • TLC successfully confirmed the suspected Loxitane ingestion.
    • GC analysis revealed a blood loxapine concentration of 0.072 mg/dL.
    • The measured loxapine levels were consistent with the observed clinical presentation of lethargy and ataxia.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of chromatographic techniques in diagnosing drug ingestions in young children.
    • Prompt identification and supportive management are crucial for favorable outcomes in pediatric loxapine toxicity.
    • Monitoring for central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular effects is essential during treatment.
