Members don't see this ad.
 
Oh wouldn't we all like such a list! If there isn't, maybe people can contribute to this thread to compile one? I know I've written several down.

You should edit your post with:
3. Acute gout - NSAIDs, Glucocorticoids, Colchicine
25. Warfarin Overdose - Vit K (delayed effect), FFP (immediate)
80. Gonorrhea - Cetriaxone
There's probably more, but I haven't seen much after first glance.
