Intravascular haemolysis and acute renal failure induced by nomifensine. 1986

J D Fulton, and J D Briggs, and A F Dominiczak, and B J Junor, and N P Lucie

Nomifensine is a widely used antidepressant agent with few side-effects but haemolytic anaemia with acute renal failure has been reported with both intermittent therapeutic dosage and self-inflicted overdose. We report here a case of acquired immune haemolytic anaemia with acute renal failure induced by second exposure to a single capsule of nomifensine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D009627 Nomifensine An isoquinoline derivative that prevents dopamine reuptake into synaptosomes. The maleate was formerly used in the treatment of depression. It was withdrawn worldwide in 1986 due to the risk of acute hemolytic anemia with intravascular hemolysis resulting from its use. In some cases, renal failure also developed.
