Poisoning: cocaine - what does this mean

Cocaine poisoning occurs when an individual has taken too much of the drug, resulting in an overdose. this can cause a range of physical and psychological symptoms, including seizures, increased heart rate, agitation, and even death.

What happens during the disease - poisoning: cocaine

Cocaine poisoning occurs when an individual ingests, snorts, or injects an excessive amount of cocaine into their system. the cocaine is then absorbed into the bloodstream quickly, resulting in a rapid increase in the amount of dopamine in the brain, leading to a feeling of euphoria. however, this can quickly lead to an overdose, as the body cannot process the drug as quickly as it is being ingested. symptoms of cocaine poisoning include increased heart rate, hypertension, seizures, and coma. long-term effects can include stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death.
