Overview

Popsán fatální případ abúzu sirupu proti kašli, obsahující chlorpheniramin a dihydrokodein. Koncentrace chorpheniraminu po smrti byla v krvi nad smrtící úrovní, ale koncentrace dihydrokodeinu byla v terapeutickém pásmu a tyto hodnoty byly diskutovány z hlediska forenzní farmakokinetiky. Usuzujeme, že příčinou smrti byla otrava chlorpheniraminem.

Klíčová slova:
abusus sirupu proti kašli – chlorpheniramin – dihydrokodein
