AB The  majority  of  calls  to  poison  control  centers  involve  children  younger  than  5  years.  Fortunately,  children  account  for  a  minority  of  serious  poisonings  requiring  emergency  hospital  treatment.  Most  common  childhood  ingestions  involve  nontoxic  substances  or  nontoxic  doses  of  potentially  toxic  drugs  or  products.  Table  I–43  lists  important  causes  of  serious  or  fatal  childhood  poisoning,  which  include  iron  supplements;  tricyclic  antidepressants;  cardiovascular  medications  such  as  digitalis  (Digoxin  and  other  Cardiac  Glycosides),  beta  receptor  antagonists,  or  calcium  antagonists;  methyl  salicylate  (Salicylates);  and  hydrocarbons.
