CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
Sodium nitrite is indicated for sequential use with sodium thiosulfate
for the treatment
of acute cyanide poisoning that is judged to be life-threatening. When
the diagnosis of
cyanide poisoning is uncertain, the potentially life-threatening risks
associated with
sodium nitrite should be carefully weighed against the potential
benefits, especially if
the patient is not in extremis.
Sodium nitrite is to be administered together with appropriate
decontamination and
supportive measures (see section 4.4).
Consideration should be given to official guidelines for the treatment
of cyanide
intoxication.

thiosulfate (rate of
5 mL/minute).
Special populations
