Abstract

Ethchlorvynol remains a drug that frequently surfaces in clinical emergency practice despite safer and more effective pharmaceutical agents on the market. Effects such as poisoning, dependence, ocular damage, and overdose continue to receive attention in the literature. Awareness of complications and treatment in ethchlorvynol exposure requires attention to a drug remaining clinically available without an appropriate clinical indication.
