Abstract

The use of 2, 4-D dimethylamine is expanding as a result of the rise in glyphosate and paraquat resistance in weeds [1]. Instances of 2,4D dimethylamine intoxication have been on the rise. This herbicide exhibits a range of dose-dependent harmful mechanisms, including cell membrane destruction, disruption of acetyl coenzyme A metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling [2]. The neurological system, heart, lungs, liver, muscles, and endocrine system may all be affected by toxic effects [3]. Results in male cases are fatal [2,4]. The usefulness of alkaline diuresis as a life-saving treatment for 2,4-D dimethylamine poisoning with severe symptoms is discussed in this paper. 2, 4-D dimethylamine intoxication can be fatal if not treated promptly.  There is no particular antidote and alkaline diuresis shows good result in the patient who present with severe intoxication of 2, 4-D dimethylamine.
