przedawkowaniu

Przedawkowaniu, or overdose, refers to the excessive intake of a substance, such as medication, drugs, or alcohol, that leads to toxic or harmful effects on the body. The severity of an overdose depends on the specific substance, the amount ingested, and individual factors like body weight, tolerance, and overall health.

Symptoms of an overdose can vary widely and may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, slowed or rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, seizures, and loss of consciousness. In severe cases, an overdose can be life-threatening and result in permanent organ damage or death.

Immediate medical attention is crucial in cases of suspected overdose. Emergency services should be contacted as soon as possible. Medical professionals will assess the situation, determine the substance involved, and administer appropriate treatment, which may include inducing vomiting, administering antidotes, or providing supportive care such as ventilation. Prevention of overdose involves responsible use of medications, adherence to prescribed dosages, avoiding mixing substances, and seeking help for substance abuse issues. Awareness and education about the risks associated with excessive substance consumption are vital in reducing the incidence of overdoses.
