Self-poisoning with sustained-release aminophylline: secondary rise in serum theophylline concentration after charcoal haemoperfusion.

Theophylline poisoning can result in nausea, vomiting, hypotension, cardiac dysrythmias, and seizures. Mortality may be as high as 50%, and life-threatening events may occur without premonitory symptoms.' Because of this, treatment is indicated when serum theophylline concentrations are very high. Charcoal haemoperfusion is effective in lowering serumconcentrations of theophylline.2 We report a...

Sustained Release Multiparticulates via Powder Coating

Hydrophobic grade fumed silicas are generally used in tabletting as lubricants. They are also found to retard the release of pharmaceutical actives. This is because of their hydrophobic nature, which gives good cohesive and adhesive properties. considering this point it was thought that they could be used as dry coating agents for solid dosages forms. The model drug selected for this work was p...

Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy for sustained release diltiazem poisoning: a case report.

We present a case of refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to sustained release diltiazem poisoning.  Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy was initiated approximately 13 hours after ingestion. Vasopressors were weaned off hours after initiation of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and the patient went on to make a full recovery.  This report adds to the paucity of data on intravenous lipid emul...
