Abstract

Dextropropoxyphene poisoning is an uncommon accidental poisoning in children. Presentation is similar to narcotic over dosage or poisoning. Convulsions, conduction disturbances, arrhythmias and hypoglycemia are common. Naloxone is the antidote. As it is uncommon and not documented in children in Indian literature we are reporting this case.
