Abstract :Calcium channel blockers are the drugs with the highest poisoning-related mortality. The most commonly seen finding in verapamil intoxication is hypotension, with other frequently encountered findings being bradycardia and atrioventricular block. It may also lead to potentially fatal complications such as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting are uncommon. This report describes a case brought to the emergency department with abdominal pain, in which cholecystitis was determined following tests performed when hypotension and bradycardia could not be explained, and in which it was learned that the patient had taken a high dose of verapamil with the aim of committing suicide.Cholecystitis as a result of verapamil intoxication has never previously been reported in the literature.
