A member asked:

Are there alternative therapies for calcium channel blocker overdose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alternative?: Please define "alternative". If you just wait, a calcium blocker will just wear off by itself. If you have severe low blood pressure or severe blocked heart rhythm, you will need immediate treatment with therapies of proven value.
