Acute Psychotic Symptoms due to Benzydamine Hydrochloride Abuse with Alcohol

الملخص EN

Benzydamine hydrochloride is a locally acting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Benzydamine hydrochloride overdose can cause stimulation of central nervous system, hallucinations, and psychosis.

We presented a young man with psychotic symptoms due to benzydamine hydrochloride abuse.

He received a total dose of 1000 mg benzydamine hydrochloride with alcohol for its hallucinative effects.

Misuse of benzydamine hydrochloride must be considered in differential diagnosis of first-episode psychosis and physicians should consider possibility of abuse in prescribing.
