Abstract
Treatment nomograms are used in paracetamol poisoning for indicating when antidotes should be given to prevent hepatic or renal damage.1 We report a fatal case of paracetamol poisoning in an epileptic taking phenytoin, in whom no antidotal treatment was given because it was not indicated.Keywords
