Understocking of lower usage drugs, like antidotes, can be one of the consequences of cost pressures within a hospital.   When your Emergency Department faces an ethylene glycol or methanol poisoning, however, you need the antidote you can trust on your shelf.    The time delay in treatment can mean the difference between life and death.

Antizol (fomepizole) Injection is a smart choice for your hospital.

Antizol has proven efficacy:

• You can trust Antizol to block the formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol and methanol, which are responsible for metabolic acidosis and renal and ocular damage.

Antizol is easy to use, limiting staff resources:

• Antizol uses simple, weight-based dosing.
• Antizol is easy to administer, just dilute and infuse.

The dosing schedule provides consistent predictable results and does not require monitoring in order to maintain a therapeutic plasma concentration.

Antizol can potentially reduce morbidity and lower cost:

• Eliminates the need for frequent checking of plasma ethanol concentrations.
• In select cases of ethylene glycol poisoning, costly hemodialysis may not be required.

Patients can be treated on suspicion of poisoning while waiting for laboratory confirmation of diagnosis, thereby blocking the toxic metabolites as quickly as possible to prevent further sequelae.
