Systemic toxicity following ingestion of the chlorhexidine gluconate solution: a case report.

The purpose of this article is to discuss possible adverse effects and emergency treatments following the ingestion of chlorhexidine (CHX). In this case a dental student (age 25, male) accidentally swallowed one shot of 20% CHX solution, which is equal to 100 shots of the standard 0.2% CHX mouthwash. Clinical emergency treatment included: washing the oral cavity with 30 g of toothpaste, drinking 100 ml of 5% (w/v) alginate syrup and ingestion of 5 g of cork. The following adverse effects were experienced: headache, euphoria, giddiness, blurred vision (duration = 12 h), stomachache, gastric lavage with demulcents (duration = 24 h) and complete loss of taste sensation (duration = 8 h), which recurred during the next 48 h. No change in plasma aminotransferase level was seen. We used basic chemical information about the incompatibilities of CHX for clinical management of unintentional ingestion. It is known that CHX is a cation, and, therefore, first aid in case of intoxication with CHX involves using anionic materials.

Successful use of sodium ferric gluconate in sucrose in a patient with multiple drug allergies.

This is not a controlled study but an anecdotal experience that resulted in improved outcomes in a patient with multiple allergies, including iron dextran. Target Hct/Hgbs were attained and exceeded, although iron indices were not fully achieved. Infections demonstrated RE blockade and failure of TSAT to reach target range. The multidisciplinary team's successful decision to trial SFG in a medically complex patient allowed profound iron deficiency to be treated safely and effectively, which was not possible prior to the availability of an alternate iron preparation. It is rewarding to have the option to offer a medication that improves patients' status and enhances outcomes. Mr. C. was less tired and had more energy following his first and subsequent courses of therapy. "I couldn't believe how tired I was without realizing it until after I finished a course of iron therapy. I just thought that was my quality of life on dialysis. It's much better now and I have more energy." Such comments justify our efforts on our patients' behalf.
