Calcium modulators can be effectively used to treat cardiovascular and cerebral toxicity induced by materials that alter the normal interaction of neurotransmitters with the calcium transport mechanisms of myocardial and cerebral cells. For example, calcium modulators can be used as an antidote to the lethal and chronic toxicity of cocaine and related indirectly acting sympathomimetic amines, imipramine and other tricyclic antidepressants, ganglionic stimulating drugs, and other toxic substances such as organophosphorus compounds that cause accumulations of neurotransmitters. Calcium modulators can also be used as an antidote to substances whose toxicity is based upon anticholinesterase activity. In addition, calcium modulators can be used as antagonists to the various types of toxic substances. |
