Nitroglycerin by sublingual tablet (0.4 mg) every 5 minutes for a total of 3 doses will be used for ischemic discomfort relief. Intravenous injection will be considered when the ischemic discomfort, hypertension or pulmonary congestion cannot be controlled. Nitrates should not be used when the blood pressure is lower than 90 mmHg or 30 mmHg lower than a known base line value, bradycardia less than 50 bpm, tachycardia more than 100 bpm or suspected right ventricular (RV) infarction. 

Cyclizine has antimuscarinic properties and is a potent anti-emetic, effective for the control of postoperative and drug-induced nausea and vomiting. It has been used to prevent motion sickness, although diphenhydramine and promethazine are more effective. It is available in oral and parenteral formulations. In contrast to many other first-generation antihistamines sedation is not marked. It is available in tablet form as the hydrochloride and in injectable form as the lactate. Because of its anticholinergic action, blurred vision and dry mouth are associated with clinical doses. When given by rapid intravenous injection tachycardia may be a problem. Meclozine is a related drug which, like cyclizine, is used primarily for motion sickness. 

In addition to sinus tachycardia and tremor, vomiting is common after overdose. Hypotension, tachycardia, hypokalemia, and hyperglycemia may occur, probably due to -adrenergic activation. The cause of this activation is not fully understood, but the effects can be ameliorated by the use of B-blockers (see below). Cardiac arrhythmias include atrial tachycardias, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia. In severe poisoning (eg, acute overdose with serum level > 100 mg/L), seizures often occur and are usually resistant to common anticonvulsants. Toxicity may be delayed in onset for many hours after ingestion of sustained-release tablet formulations. 

PCP typically causes tachycardia and hypertension. PCP is sold in the form of capsules, tablets, powder, as a solution in water or alcohol, or as rock salt. It may be sniffed, smoked, or injected through intravenous or subcutaneous injection.

A 2.5-year-old boy took one or two tablets of 7.5 mg and exhibited agitation, aggressive behavior, miosis, hypersalivation, tachycardia, and ataxia (264). A similar dose was well tolerated by an 8-year-old autistic boy (265). 

An 18-year-old man was found collapsed outside the nightclub. He had taken five ecstasy tablets and some powder that was later confirmed as ecstasy. He was vomiting and agitated, had a tachycardia and hyperthermia, and needed mechanical ventilation. He later developed rhabdomyolysis and renal impairment with raised liver enzymes. He went on to develop pneumonia and a urinary tract infection. He was discharged after 32 days with a mildly ataxic gait and dysphonia secondary to vocal cord damage. 

A 23-year-old man took two tablets of ecstasy and developed a tachycardia and a fever, which responded to treatment. 

An 18-year-old woman took two tablets and had no clinical signs of toxicity except a tachycardia. 

Tenamfetamine ( ecstasy, MDMA methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is structurally related to mescaline as well as to amphetamine. It was originally patented in 1914 as an appetite suppressant and has recently achieved widespread popularity as a dance drug at rave parties (where it is deemed necessary to keep pace with the beat and duration of the music popular names reflect the appearance of the tablets and capsules and include White Dove, White Burger, Red and Black, Denis the Menace). Tenamfetamine stimulates central and peripheral a-and p-adrenoceptors thus the pharmacological effects are compounded by those of physical exertion, dehydration and heat. In susceptible individuals (poor metabolisers who exhibit the CYP450 2D6 polymorphism) a severe and fatal idiosyncratic reaction may occur with fulminant hyperthermia, convulsioirs, disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis, and acute renal and hepatic failure. Treatment includes activated charcoal, diazepam for convulsions, P-blockade (atenolol) for tachycardia, a-blockade (phentolamine) for hypertension, and dantrolene if the rectal temperature exceeds 39°C. 

A 23-year-old woman took 60 tablets of amlodipine intentionally and developed tachycardia and severe hypotension. She did not improve with intensive therapy and developed left ventricular failure and oliguria and underwent hemodiafiltration. Her condition slowly improved over 4 days. 

Hypotension is a frequent adverse effect of nitrates (24), resulting from dilatation of arteries and veins. It can be associated with reflex tachycardia and palpitation, and even syncope on assuming an upright posture. Hypotension occurs particularly in old people, especially those with recurrent falls (SEDA-16, 196), and more commonly with glyceryl trinitrate oral spray than with sublingual tablets, because of its faster onset of action (24). It tends to occur more commonly in those who take nitrates infrequently. 

A 54-year-old man with hjrpertrophic cardiomyopathy, for which he took verapamil, felt unwell after a single tablet of sildenafil (10). Holter monitoring after repeat sildenafil showed an increase in ventricular extra beats and episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. On echocardiography, left ventricular dimensions were reduced and the subaortic gradient was markedly increased. 

Continued dependence of salbutamol tablets taken in high doses (30 0 tablets daily and 48-64 mg day has lead to symptoms of toxic psychosis in one elderly woman and paranoid psychosis in a 52-year-old man. Up to 60-90 100 pg inhalations of salbutamol daily has been used by asthmatics who increased doses because they needed it and wanted to feel good . Long-term tolerance develops to bronchodilator action, tremor, tachycardia, prolongation of QTc interval, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, and the vasodilator response. 

The majority of the information regarding cardiovascular effects comes from reports of children who were treated with mercurous chloride tablets for worms or mercurous chloride-containing powders for teething discomfort (Warkany and Hubbard 1953). These authors described multiple cases in which tachycardia and elevated blood pressure were observed in the affected children.
