| Abstract |
Rodenticides belong to a number of different chemical families, products exhibiting anticoagulant properties being the most widespread. Their mode of action consists of blocking the vitamin K cycle, thereby slowing down the synthesis of coagulation factors and giving rise to hypocoagulability and the risk of major haemorrhagic complications. Most rodenticides intended for domestic use are subject to strict regulations, however, the possible misuse of products strictly reserved for professionals can give rise to poisoning. Vitamin K1 is the specific antidote for haemostatic disorders caused by anticoagulant rodenticides. Uses and toxic effects of eight rodenticides are reviewed. |
