@raihansomcn BLOK 1 Q 10 WHY DO U SAY ITS FORMALDEHYE DEHYDROGENASE? looks like it alcohol dehydrogensae ..see pg 242 fa 2010 edition or kaplanpg 139 pharma.
but here its http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomepizole
says formaldehyde dehydrogense converts formaldehye to formic acid .FORMIC ACID IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RETINAL DAMAGE.
R U SURE ITS FORMALDEHYE DEHYDROGENSE U GOT CORRECT? I OPTED THIS ANS JUST WANT TO b sure.

Fomepizole is a competitive inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase,[4] the enzyme that catalyzes the initial steps in the metabolism of ethylene glycol and methanol to their toxic metabolites.
Ethylene glycol is first metabolized to glycolaldehyde which then undergoes further oxidation to glycolate, glyoxylate, and oxalate. It is glycolate and oxalate that are primarily responsible for the metabolic acidosis and renal damage that are seen in ethylene glycol poisoning.
Methanol is first metabolized to formaldehyde and then undergoes subsequent oxidation via formaldehyde dehydrogenase to become formic acid.[5] It is formic acid that is primarily responsible for the metabolic acidosis and visual disturbances that are associated with methanol poisoning.
Concurrent use with ethanol is contraindicated because fomepizole is known to prolong the half-life of ethanol.
When used as an antidote in cases of methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning, fomepizole is administered by injection. Fomepizole is supplied as brand name Antizol in 1.5 mL vials containing 1500 mg of fomepizole
