title: A case of amlodipine overdose.
abstract: A case of severe amlodipine overdose with only mild symptoms is described. Plasma concentrations of amlodipine were measured in serial samples by gas chromatography. There was no concomitant overdose. The present case is compared with previous reported cases of amlodipine overdose where patients all developed severe symptoms. We conclude that amlodipine overdose does not always cause severe symptoms.
