USE
Aconitine is among the most toxic alkaloidsknown. Toxic doses are close to therapeuticdoses, and in humans as little as 2 mgmay cause death (Ferry and Vigneau 1983).An oral lethal dose of 28 mg/kg has alsobeen recorded (NIOSH 1986). The toxicsymptoms at low doses may be excitement,drowsiness, and hypermotility. The first signof poisoning from ingestion is a tingling,burning feeling on the lips, mouth, gums,and throat (Hodgson et al. 1988). This isfollowed by nervous disorders, anesthesia,loss of coordination, vertigo, hypersalivation,nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Toxic actionsof aconitine are very rapid. The crystallineform of this compound is much more toxicthan the amorphous aconitine. At a lethaldose, death may result from cardiorespiratoryfailure. Procaine may be an effective antidoteagainst aconitine poisoning.
