    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Kurz nach der Einführung des Wirkstoffes (1945) konnten Vergiftungen mit Diphenhydramin beobachtet werden. Seit Diphenhydramin, zusammen mit 8-Chlortheophyllin als Dimenhydrinat im Handel, anstelle des gefährlicheren Diethylpentenamid als rezeptfreies Schlafmittel angeboten wird, stiegen auch die Zahlen von Vergiftungen und Verkehrsunfällen unter Diphenhydramin-Einfluß. Der Vergleich von vier klinisch behandelten und überlebenden Patienten mit sieben unter Diphenhydramin-Einfluß verunfallten Verkehrsteilnehmern zeigt, daß hier massive Intoxikationen bei erheblichem Tablettenmißbrauch vorgelegen haben. Aus den Verhältnissen der Diphenhydramin-Konzentration in Blut und Urin sowie den Konzentrationen der als Hauptstoffwechselprodukt entstehenden Diphenmethoxyessigsäure lassen sich wertvolle Hinweise auf chronischen Mißbrauch bzw. den Aufnahmezeitpunkt der Tabletten gewinnen. Bei verschiedenen tödlichen Vergiftungen wurde unter anderem eine massive Vergiftung vorgefunden, die zu bisher noch nicht beschriebenen hohen Konzentrationen von Diphenhydramin in Körperflüssigkeiten und Geweben geführt hat.
    Notes: Summary Several poisonings by diphenhydramine were reported shortly after it had been introduced as an antihistamine in 1945. In the Federal Republic of Germany its combination with 8-chlorotheophylline (dimenhydrinate) is available as a hypnotic without prescription. Replacing the dangerous diethylpentenamide diphenhydramine is a drug which is also often abused. Fatal poisonings, suicide attempts, and traffic accidents were increasingly observed. In seven cases drug-influenced road users caused traffic accidents. We observed blood concentrations of diphenhydramine as high as in four cases of clinically treated patients after ingestion of large doses. This indicates a serious drug abuse. The measurement of the concentration of diphenhydramine and its major metabolite (diphenmethoxy acetic acid) in blood and urine is a means of recognizing chronic use and misuse of diphenhydramine. As the metabolite accumulates in blood one may find an elevated level after multiple dosing. Shortly after taking a single dose no or only low metabolite concentration is found. The concentration of diphenhydramine and its metabolite was measured in several fatal cases. In one of these cases the concentration in body fluids and tissues was in a range not observed until now.

    Notes: Summary Seven further cases with n-propyl-ajmaliumbitartrate (NPAB)-associated liver damage observed between 1976 and 1980 in two collaborating institutions are reported. The cause/effect relationship could be classified as probable in three cases and as potential in the remaining four patients. No drug rechallenge was carried out. In the clinical management, definite exclusion of biliary tract obstruction had a clear priority over histologic documentation of the degree of the transient liver damage. Follow-up data after 2 years 8 months to 5 years 9 months by personal reinvestigation of three patients and by questionnaire to family physicians and patients in the remaining four cases gave no clinical or serologic indication of persisting or relapsing liver damage. Liver biopsies were not considered to be warranted in the follow-up of these asymptomatic patients with normal liver function tests.
