Glucagon has been used to treat the hypotension associated with calciu m channel antagonist poisoning in adult patients. We describe the succ essful use of glucagon in a pediatric patient poisoned with nifedipine and clonidine whose hypotension was unresponsive to fluid resuscitati on, calcium chloride, and dopamine.
