Abstract

We report a case of concurrent ingestion of Clonazepam and Amlodipine in a 25‐year‐old man, in a second attempt to take his life, which resulted in unconsciousness, hypotension, and hypokalemia. The clinical and/or biochemical presentation varied from the individual pattern when ingested. In the scarcity of consensus recommendations, supportive treatment helped. Supportive treatment is the rule of management of concomitant ingestion of Amlodipine and Clonazepam. The clinical and/or biochemical presentation of benzodiazepine and calcium channel blocker may vary from the individual pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
