Alcohol can exacerbate the symptoms and may directly contribute to increased severity of symptoms. The reasons for toxicity vary depending on the mixture of drugs. Usually, most victims die after using two or more drugs in combination that suppress breathing, and the low blood oxygen level causes brain death .
The tables below contain a sample list of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine analogs that are commonly prescribed, with their basic pharmacological characteristics, such as half-life and equivalent doses to other benzodiazepines, also listed, along with their trade names and primary uses.
Interactions with other drugs, food and drink, and other factors may increase or decrease the effect of certain analgesics and alter their half-life. Because some listed analgesics are prodrugs or have active metabolites, individual variation in liver enzymes (e.g., CYP2D6 enzyme) may result in significantly altered effects.
For example: Benzodiazepines can cause death when mixed with other CNS depressants such as opioids, alcohol, or barbiturates. [7] [8] [9] GHB combined with alcohol can lead to a long-lasting coma-like state (‘G-sleep’) or even accidental death, particularly in light of GHB's narrow threshold for overdose. Depressants combined with ...
Cross-tolerance is a phenomenon that occurs when tolerance to the effects of a certain drug produces tolerance to another drug. It often happens between two drugs with similar functions or effects—for example, acting on the same cell receptor or affecting the transmission of certain neurotransmitters.
Cole Dixon Moore, 35, of South Carolina, has been charged with four counts of distribution of oxycodone and one count of possession with intent to distribute Alprazolam (which is similar to Xanax ...
Oxycodone, a semi-synthetic opioid, is a highly selective full agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR). [41] [42] This is the main biological target of the endogenous opioid neuropeptide β-endorphin. [19] Oxycodone has low affinity for the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) and the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), where it is an agonist similarly.
