Abstract
Intoxications from calcium blockers are not common in daily pediatric practice, but often they can be life-threatening and result fatal for children. Non-cardiogenic edema in children as a result of overdose from amlodipine is rare. In this article, we want to present a case of an intentional intoxication from overdose of amlodipine in a teen girl who suffered complications with refractory hypotension and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema after 2 days from ingestion. This article wants to highlight the reporting of this rare life-threatening complication because of overdose. It will also focus on the successful supportive treatment with liquids, salt of calcium, vasopressors, glucagon, intra-lipids, mechanical ventilation and the superiority of using high-dose insulin-euglycemia in the concomitant refractory hypotension.
