Ischemic colitis associated with dextroamphetamine use

K L Beyer et al. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1991 Apr.

Abstract

Ischemic colitis can be caused by a variety of medications including a number of sympathomimetic agents. We report the case of a 47-year-old narcoleptic man who had abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. The clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings supported the diagnosis of ischemic colitis associated with oral dextroamphetamine use.
