University of Bologna, Italy.

We report a patient who intentionally ingested a large amount of delayed release fenfluramine and was successfully treated with whole bowel irrigation. To our knowledge this is the first case of this kind to be reported in the literature. This therapeutic method, commonly used for acute poisonings with enteric coated and other modified release pharmaceuticals appears effective and risk-free in the treatment of delayed release fenfluramine overdose.
