Amlodipine Overdose in a Transgender Woman: A Case Study.

Calcium channel blockers are a major cause of cardiovascular toxicity. The clinical spectrum of these patients is very variable and there is no consensus on the dose required for toxicity. We present a case of a 43-year-old transgender woman who presented with hypotension and tachycardia owing to drug overdose that was later confirmed to be amlodipine. Given the catastrophic cascade of events involved with such toxicities, it is important to highlight amlodipine as one of the causes of drug overdose that can be overlooked.
