T46.3: Poisoning: Coronary vasodilators, not elsewhere classified
You have been poisoned by a drug that dilates blood vessels.
A drug can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The drug may also be administered or taken by mistake.
Some medications specifically dilate certain blood vessels in the heart. These blood vessels supply oxygen to the heart muscle. Some medications from this group also have other effects and as a result other areas of application. Poisoning with medications from this group can cause blood pressure to become very low, for example. You may experience dizziness or headache. There may be symptoms such as nausea or vomiting.
