túladagolva

Túladagolva is a Hungarian term that refers to the state of having consumed an excessive amount of a substance, leading to an overdose. The noun form is túladagolás, while túladagolva is the past participle form used to describe someone or something that has overdosed. The term is used in medical, legal, and public health contexts to discuss incidents of excessive intake of drugs, alcohol, or toxins.

Overdoses can involve prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, illegal drugs, or other toxins. They may be accidental, such as taking the wrong dose, or intentional, as in suicide attempts or substance misuse. Risk increases with mixing substances, taking higher doses than recommended, or in individuals with tolerance changes, underlying health conditions, or limited access to care.

Symptoms vary by substance but commonly include severe drowsiness or unconsciousness, confusion, slowed or irregular breathing, dizziness, vomiting, chest pain, seizures, or pale/blue-tinged skin. In any suspected overdose, prompt medical evaluation is essential, as delays can be life-threatening.

Emergency response is crucial: call local emergency services immediately and do not leave the person alone. If they are not breathing or are unresponsive, begin CPR if trained. If an opioid overdose is suspected and naloxone is available and you are instructed to use it, administer according to local guidelines; otherwise await responders. Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.

Prevention focuses on using medications exactly as prescribed, avoiding mixing substances without medical advice, storing medicines safely, and seeking help for substance use problems or dependence.
