The management of patients who have overdosed with calcium channel blockers (CCBs), which are commonly prescribed for hypertension, arrhythmia and angina, can be difficult but early initiation of the correct treatment increases the likelihood of good outcomes. This article refers to a case study to illustrate the unpredictable nature of overdose with CCBs and describes the treatment needed to reverse their effects.
