Abstract

Most arrhythmias associated with Metronidazole overdose are related to the co-ingested drugs as Metronidazole affects the metabolism of these drugs. In this case, ventricular fibrillation occurred in a young patient who overdosed on Metronidazole without preexisting medical conditions or any other known drug ingestion, which was never reported before
