NEJM 344:424-429, Brent,J.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Methanol poisoning may result in metabolic acidosis, blindness, and death. The inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase is fundamental to the treatment of methanol poisoning. We performed a multicenter study to evaluate fomepizole, an inhibito r of alcohol dehydrogenase, in the treatment of patients with methanol poisoning. Fomepizole appears to be safe and effective in the treatment of methanol poisoning.
