| Title | Multiple seizures after bupropion overdose in a small child. | | Author(s) | Spiller HA, Schaeffer SE | | Institution | Kentucky Regional Poison Center, Louisville, KY 40232-5070, USA. henry.spiller@nortonhealthcare.org | | Source | Pediatr Emerg Care 2008 Jul; 24(7):474-5. | | Abstract | Unintentional ingestion of bupropion in young children has generally resulted in limited toxicity. We report a case of pediatric bupropion ingestion resulting in multiple seizures. The patient experienced hallucinations, agitation, vomiting, tachycardia and seizures after ingestion of 1050 (48 mg/kg) of extended-release bupropion. The potential for severe toxicity in the setting of pediatric overdose should be recognized. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
