Abstract
Acute poisoning in a suicidal attempt with oral antidiabeticagents asociated with tricyclic antidepressant drugs are rare and cumulating effects of those two drugs enhance s the risk for cardiac complications in these patients. This article presents a case-report in which the association between these two drugs increases the arrhythmogenic potential of each, through metabolic consequencesthat appear (severe hypoglycemia, important lactic acidosis) and determine a poor prognosis.
