Ingestion of triclopyr formulations can produce life-threatening toxicity. In large poisonings of triclopyr co-formulated with DEGEE, a high anion gap metabolic acidosis appears to be due to the glycol ether solvent rather than triclopyr itself. Management should focus on good supportive care including dialysis for significant metabolic acidosis.
