The aim of this study was to describe the clinical effects of promethazine in overdose and explore the relationship between delirium and possible predictor variables. ⋯ The main feature of promethazine toxicity is delirium, the probability of which can be predicted from the dose ingested. The administration of charcoal and the presence of co-ingestants appears to reduce the probability of delirium in a predictable manner.
