Accepted Answer

Immediately call 911: Get that person to the Emergency Room ASAP.  In the meantime, keep the patient as still as possible and turn the head to one side to prevent issues when or if they pass out as part of the overdose.

Question 5

please help! what happens when someone has a drug overdose?

Accepted Answer

That depends on: How serious it is and what drugs or medications were taken.  Overdoses are often treated initially in an emergency room. The person is monitored and often they have intravenous fluids. If they stopped breathing - a tube can be inserted to assist with breathing. Sometimes they are given charcoal to absorb the drugs and  sometimes their stomach is "pumped". They may need to be given medications.

Question 6

please describe the most effective way to pass a drug test?

Accepted Answer

Stop using: Depends on your body, the substance you use, the amount you use daily and possibly your liver and kidney function, and the type of drug test (whether urine, blood, sweat, saliva or hair). If you have an addiction problem, please seek help for same asap rather than worrying about how to get a clean drug test. Life is too short to live it in the haze of addiction.

Question 7

help please? what is the best medication/drug for rejection?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what organ is getting transplanted and how likely the recipient is going to have a rejection episode and what other medical conditions the patient has.  For example, for a kidney transplant, most patients are going to be on 2 or 3 anti-rejection meds and they will likely include tacrolimus (Prograf) and mycophenolate (CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) or Myfortic).

Question 8

can you please describe the drugs used to cure aids completly?

Accepted Answer

No drugs for cure: There are no drugs currently that cures hiv, the virus that causes aids.  The drugs that are available are called antiretroviral therapy. These drugs are able to clear the bloodstream of hiv, but HIV is very clever and is able to hide out in other places, like lymph nodes, where it can lay dormant or sleeping for years. The drugs are not able to get to these hiding places to kill hiv, thus no cure.

Question 9

why is weed less addictive than other drugs? explanations please?

Accepted Answer

Who says it is?: Addiction is not a function of the drug as much as it is a function of the person who is TAKING that drug.  Most people who drink are not addicted to alcohol, but 10% or so are. The same number is true of marijuana, with about 10% of users having dependency. It has a very mild withdrawal syndrome for one, compared to alcohol, tranquilizers or opiates, and doesn't have the euphoria of stimulants.
