What is Fomepizole Injection?
Fomepizole Injection is a life-saving antidote used in the management of ethylene glycol poisoning (antifreeze ingestion) and methanol poisoning. It belongs to the class of alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors. By blocking the toxic metabolism of these substances, Fomepizole prevents the formation of harmful metabolites that can cause kidney failure, blindness, and even death.
Uses of Fomepizole Injection
• Treatment of ethylene glycol poisoning
• Treatment of methanol poisoning
• Preventing toxic metabolic acidosis in poisoning cases
• Reducing risk of renal complications due to antifreeze ingestion
• Emergency antidote in industrial or accidental chemical exposure casesHow Does Fomepizole Injection Work?
Fomepizole works by inhibiting the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which normally converts ethylene glycol and methanol into their toxic metabolites (glycolic acid, oxalic acid, and formic acid). By stopping this conversion, it prevents organ damage and allows the body to safely eliminate the parent compound.
