What are the Treatment Options for Antipsychotic Toxicity?
Treatment is primarily supportive. Activated charcoal may be administered if the patient presents soon after ingestion. Intravenous fluids can help manage hypotension, and benzodiazepines may be used to control agitation or seizures. In cases of significant cardiac toxicity, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) protocols should be followed. In some instances, intravenous lipid emulsion therapy has been used experimentally.
