L’objectif
Deaths involving opioids typically result from lethal respiratory depression, and it is currently unknown how co-use of psychostimulants with opioids affects respiratory toxicity.
Constatations/points à retenir
These results indicate that co-use of amphetamines with fentanyl may worsen respiratory depression, but conversely, monoaminergic components of the amphetamines may possibly be exploited to mitigate fentanyl overdose.
