Randomized Controlled Trial
Vitamin E as a novel therapy in the treatment of acute aluminum phosphide poisoning.
Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is commonly used as a fumigant in developing countries. Induction of oxidative stress is one of the most important mechanisms of its toxicity. In this regard, and considering that there is no specific antidote for its treatment, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin E in the treatment of acute AlP poisoning. ⋯ Vitamin E along with supportive treatment could have a therapeutic effect in acute AlP poisoning.
