E-DRUG: Help wanted: Paraquat poisoning
---------------------------------------
Dear members:
I would like to know if someone has experience in the treatment of
Paraquat's intoxication. The section of toxicology in my hospital
treats the patients with the following drugs: Vit C, Vit E and
acetylcysteine for 21 days. I am not convinced of the efficacy of
this treatment. Almost all patients die from acute renal failure and
lungs toxicity. Please help me with your comments.
Thank you very much in advance.
