How long can a patient stay unconscious for after over dosing on prescription drugs ? what's is the danger zone , when should they start to recover
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forever: Is not an unusual possibility. Unfortunately the rate of overdose from prescription drugs has increased and has superseded overdose from illicit drugs in many countries. The "danger zone" is infinite and never recover. Emergency care is advisable if unconscious.
