RESUMO
The appropriate therapy for methyprylon (Noludar) poisoning has remained controversial, owing to a lack of reliable pharmacologic data concerning the most effective way to remove the drug after a large ingestion. We recently employed peritoneal dialysis to treat a 16-year-old girl, who had ingested 6.3 gm of methypyrlon, and were able to recover more than 80% of the unmetabolized drug in the dialysate. Clinical recovery was complete within eight hours. This appears to be a safe and effective method to remove the drug in the child or adult with a serious intoxication.
