title: The use of glucagon in nifedipine poisoning complicated by clonidine ingestion.
abstract: Glucagon has been used to treat the hypotension associated with calcium channel antagonist poisoning in adult patients. We describe the successful use of glucagon in a pediatric patient poisoned with nifedipine and clonidine whose hypotension was unresponsive to fluid resuscitation, calcium chloride, and dopamine.
