Danger inattendu d'une préparation magistrale

Inhalation of drugs mostly leads to airway obstruction. Risk of harm is influenced by neurological status, the motility of the digestive system and the properties of the drug. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that caustic airway disease has been described following inhalation of a medicinal preparation containing meprobamate and quinine. It highlights the need to be familiar with the chemical properties of medications when prescribing them to patients who are at risk of aspiration.
