basejump Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I was browsing through the online paper when I came across this video. Interested, I went on a little research party for "krokodil aka desomorphine. Seeing the drug is an opiate, here we give narcan to reverse affects (and alot of times get agitated arses). Is it the same for our friends in the UK? We of course would have some commonalities in how we treat patients who abuse substances, but are there any special considerations when dealing with these patients? I'm curious. Fill me in. http://www.calgarysun.com/2011/11/23/gruesome-new-drug-corrodes-body http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=krokodil&oq=kroko&aq=0z&aqi=g-z1g9&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=24029l25891l0l28490l5l5l0l0l0l0l650l1997l2-1.2.1.1l5l0 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/krokodil-the-drug-that-eats-junkies-2300787.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokodil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
