Cited from Mecoprop-P, EU Review Programme on active substances in Plant Protection Products, Scientific Evaluation and Assessment, The Danish Environmental Protection Agency, Draft December 1998 (Volume 3, Annex B) and Addendum II July 2002:

"In one of the patients a plasma level of mecoprop of 298 mg/l was determined 3-4 hours after ingestion. The plasma level decreased with a t½ of about 17 h.

The major clinical finings were coma, muscle cramps, respiratory failure and arterial hypoxemia. Respiratory depression and hypoxemia were thought partly to be due to CNS depression and partly due to aspiration. Both patients developed serious renal failure, probably caused by rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis (elevated serum myoglobin and serum aldose activity) was suggested to be secondary to muscle cramps. Both patients developed hyperkalemia as a result of a combination of renal failure, muscle cell damage and metabolic acidosis. (The hyperkalaemia and the acidosis were treated with infusions of glucose/insulin and sodium bicarbonate). Both patients exhibited serious decrease in arterial blood pressure and developed anaemia and thrombocytopenia (the latter resulting in multiple petechia in one of the patients). Caustic mucous lesions were not observed in any of the patients. Both patients survived."
