Default verapamil overdose

I'm a paramedic in NYC and recently had a case of Verapamil overdose.
And we don't carry calcium as an antidote. I am doing some research about this and more specificly ca+ cloride vs. gluconate, and ther is another type and I can't remember the name but I thing there is another one. If any body has info or can tell me where I can go to get this type of info I would appreciate it. Happy Holydays

Sorry, i tossed it. You could do a search on the net. Just type verapamil + overdose and see what comes up. I've never overdosed on my meds so i really don't know what the antedote would be.
