| Abstract | PESTAB Therapy of chronic poisonings with organochlorine compounds, such as DDT, BHC, 2-KF, dichloralurea, 2,4-D, polychloropinene, and hexachlorobutadiene, is reviewed. Since the mechanism of action of organochlorine compounds in humans is not known, specific antidote therapy is not available. Glucose, calcium gluconate, and vitamins, especially vitamin B, are useful during the initial stage of the chronic poisoning, characterized by autonomic dystonia and the asthenic syndrome. Belladonna preparations are used for elimination of autonomic irritability and of vasculay spasms, and tranquilizers are given to reduce emotional lability. Vitamin preparations, cocarboxylase, adenosine triphosphatase, and oxygen therapy are used to control hypoxia and to increase tonus. Electrophoresis according to Shcherbak with calcium chloride, vitamin B1, dimedrol, or novocaine is also useful. Vitamin B12 is given to control toxic polyneuritis. Hemorrhagic vasculitis is treated with vitamins C and P. B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, glucose, and insulin are used for the therapy of toxic hepatitis. Impairments of gastric secretory function are corrected by specific diets, nicotinic acid, and pyridoxine. Vitamins C and B, thiamine, folic acid, and iron preparations are useful in anemia. |
