All are true regarding METHANOL poisoning except:
Ref: Katzung 12/e p398 Fomepizole inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase and not aldehyde dehydrogenase *Serum methanol concentration above 20 mg/dl is an indication to sta treatment and above 50 mg/dl is for Hemodialysis. *Metabolic product formaldehyde and fornic acid is responsible for blindness and high anion gap metabolic acidosis.
Central Nervous system
Hemodialysis should be done when serum methanol cencentration is above 50 mg/dl
Fomepizole acts by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase
High anion gap metabolic acidosis is seen in severe cases
Visual disturbances are commonly seen
Fomepizole acts by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase
