| Resumo |
Experience suggests that the central anticholinergic action of promethazine is a major element in the toxic effects following overdosage. Physostigmine seems to be a direct antidote at doses within the safe therapeutic range; side-effects, if they become a problem, can be treated with intravenous atropine. |
