Adverse interaction between suxamethonium and organophosphorus compounds: a challenge to both psychiatrist and anesthesiologist.
J Pioneering Med Students Jan ;4(2):73-5.

Organophosphorus compounds are commonly used in the agricultural industry. Due to easy availability of organophosphorus compounds, organophosphate (OP) poisoning is common in Kashmir and is used frequently for suicidal attempt. As OP result in inhibition of plasma cholinesterase, there can be increased sensitivity to drugs hydrolyzed by this enzyme, e.g. suxamethonium. Here we present a brief review of this drug interaction starting with a case vignette.
