Abstract

Oxpentifylline (Trental) is a vasodilator that is also used to reduce blood viscosity. It is in clinical use in South America and Europe but is still in the experimental stage in North America and Israel. We report a case of life threatening disturbance of cardiac conduction due to acute overdose of this drug.
