Effects of acute exposure commonly include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; serious poisoning may result in seizures, coma, respiratory depression, hypotension and cardiac dysrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation and asystole. In humans, cardiovascular toxicities and central nervous system symptoms predominate. Residual and persistent CNS effects have been reported.

3. Metabolic acidosis, renal insufficiency, elevated transaminases, hypocalcemia, and hyperglycemia have also been reported.
