Phencyclidine has a wide range of deleterious effects. Drug users may not even know that they have taken PCP since it is so easily disguised. Physicians should look for decreased reality testing, erythema, dry skin and other manifestations. The varied signs and symptoms of acute intoxication can be dealt with quickly and effectively. Management strategies include acidification of the urine and diuresis, as well as more specific antidotes, depending on the neurotransmitter system most affected.
