Abstract

Lisuride Maleate (Dopergin) is semi synthetic ergot alkaloid used for a variety of medical conditions. It is licensed for use in Canada, EU and Middle East countries and is marketed by various drug companies. There are no reported cases of lisuride toxicity in the literature on Google Search or Pub med Search. Herein, we present a case of accidental overdose of lisuride maleate in a 21-month-old Saudi male and further clinical course and management. The aim of this report was to document the unusual features of lisuride toxicity in pediatric patients and to guide physicians for its management.
