Abstract

A case of acute intoxication of both methaqualone and diphenhydramine is reported. The analysis of these compounds was performed by liquid-liquid extraction (Toxi-Lab DPC procedure) followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry determination; both substances are contained in the pharmaceutical formulation called Toquilone Compositum (Medichemie, Switzerland).
