Fomepizole Injection is used to treat ethylene glycol or methanol poisoning.
Fomepizole Injection is a medication used to treat methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning. It may be used alone or in combination with hemodialysis. The injection is administered directly into a vein1. If you suspect exposure to methanol or ethylene glycol, seek medical attention promptly. Fomepizole can help prevent the toxic effects of these substances by inhibiting alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in their metabolism. Remember that this medication must be diluted before use, and it should not be administered using polycarbonate-containing syringes or needles2. If you have any specific questions or need further information, consult your healthcare provider. 😊
