Compounded remedies with deadly nightshade causing anticholinergic syndrome in infants: TGA
The watchdog had received 23 adverse event reports relating to a colic preparation by early last month.
The TGA is investigating reports of toxicity in infants given compounded products for wind and colic that contained Atropa belladonna.
Last month, the watchdog warned doctors that anticholinergic toxidrome — with symptoms including erythematous skin, tachycardia, drowsiness and seizures — in young children exposed to these products could be caused by belladonna toxicity.
