Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2/ZnP) is used as a rodenticide. The most common signs of toxicity are nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and metabolic acidosis; patients presenting such signs are referred to the emergency department (ED) of the hospitals. Therefore, this study aimed to report two cases of hepatotoxicity following accidental and intentional ZnP poisoning and successful management with N-acetylcysteine (NAC).

We describe the case of an adolescent girl who received high-dose metoclopramide in combination with oral N-acetylcysteine therapy for acute acetaminophen toxicity. Whole blood-sample analysis for abnormal hemoglobin pigments established the diagnosis of sulfhemoglobinemia. Metoclopramide has been shown to cause sulfhemoglobinemia, particularly when used in repeated high doses. Although N-acetylcysteine alone has not been associated as the cause, we suggest that sulfhemoglobinemia is a potential complication in patients treated with metoclopramide for the nausea that often accompanies oral N-acetylcysteine therapy for acetaminophen toxicity. Cyanosis without respiratory distress should suggest this diagnosis.
