Challenges in managing amlodipine toxicity associated with pancreatitis

Abstract

Amlodipine toxicity is underrecognized cause of refractory shock. Management of this condition is very challenging. Lipid infusion can be used for the management of this condition as a last resort. Very few cases of drug-induced pancreatitis were reported after Ca-channel blockers overdose. We reported a case of amlodipine toxicity with drug-induced pancreatitis, which was managed with repeated bolus doses of lipid infusion.
