Abstract

The authors present different antidotal strategies in treating phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication based upon specific symptomatic presentation. Evidence exists for dopaminergic, cholinergic and opiate-like activity of PCP in both laboratory and clinical studies. Reviewing these studies, clinical interventions are recommended according to various symptom clusters.
