Abstract
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been (to our knowledge) previously reported associated with a verapamil overdose. We describe a 27-year-old woman who developed this complication after an overdose of 15, 120-mg verapamil tablets (total of 1,800 mg). This report illustrates the possibility of serious pulmonary embarrassment in the course of a verapamil overdose and the need to avoid excessive crystalloid administration during the hypotensive period.
