Hj-antagonists alone, such as cimetidine or ranitidine, have a modest effect on cutaneous flush reaction and maybe also on the heart [14, 52]. However, when applied they should be given together with Hj-antagonists. There are some studies showing a beneficial effect of combined H - and Hj-antagonist treatment or pretreatment in anaphylaxis [46, 53].

Some of the retroretinoids also have cell signaling functions at a cell surface or a cytoplasmic receptor. 14-Hydroxyretroretinol is required for lymphocyte proliferation, whereas anhydroretinol is a growth inhibitor the two compounds act antagonistically. Treatment of T lymphocytes with anhydroretinol in the absence of 14-hydroxyretroretinol leads to rapid cell death.

The main hfe-threatening complications of heroin intoxication include acute pulmonary edema and delayed respiratory depression with coma after successful naloxone treatment. In a prospective study of the management of 160 heroin and heroin mixture intoxication cases treated in an emergency room in Switzerland between 1991 and 1992, there were no rehospitahzations after discharge from the emergency room and there was only one death outside the hospital due to pulmonary edema, which occurred at between 2.25 and 8.25 hours after intoxication (36). A literature review found only two reported cases of delayed pulmonary edema, which occurred 4 and 6 hours after hospitalization. The authors recommended surveillance of a heroin user for at least 8 hours after successful opiate antagonist treatment...
