ICD-Code T44.2: Poisoning: Ganglionic blocking drugs, not elsewhere classified
You have a poisoning caused by a medication from the group of ganglion blockers.
Ganglion blockers inhibit the transmission of signals between nerves.
A drug can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The drug may also be administered or taken by mistake.
Poisoning by ganglion blockers can cause very low blood pressure. Your heart may beat more quickly than it normally does. It may no longer be possible to pass urine.
