  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the first part of the 20th century, heroin was the active ingredient in many products, including cough suppressants and other common cures at the time.
  • An OxyContin overdose can cause long-term physical damage, which could include liver diseases and infections in the blood.
  • GHB is being marketed in England as an antigen medicine that is said to increase the libido, aid in alcohol withdrawal, and induce sleep.
  • Although national rates for hospital emergency department (ED) mentions of club drugs were low in 2002 (with none exceeding 2 mentions per 100,000 population) and no increases were measured from 2001 to 2002, significant increases in certain club drug mentions were apparent from 1995 to 2002. MDMA ED mentions, for example, increased from 421 in 1995 to 4,026 in 2002; and GHB ED mentions increased from 145 in 1995 to 3,330 in 2002.
  • It is important for an observer of a drug overdose to question the patient about what drugs they have taken, as by the time they reach the hospital, they may have be unconscious, and therefore may be unable to communicate.
