In a drop - a medicine, in a spoon - a poison. This common expression can be safely attributed to such a narcotic substance as butyrate."Another horror story" - say adolescents. Maybe so. But after all, in fact, this substance kills, slowly and cruelly.
Butirate Butyrate
Butyrate has recently been used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. This drug is used in medicine as an anesthesia and in the treatment of neuroses with sleep disorders. Why is he so dangerous? First you need to understand what this drug is.
Very often, butyrate is offered by dealers in discotheques or youth parties for liberation and relaxation as an alternative to alcohol. Yes, indeed, the severity of symptoms when using butyrate and alcohol is similar - complete relaxation and pacification, high spirits, euphoria and satisfaction all around. Causes a butyrate and attacks of indomitable sexual desire. Knowing about this effect from the drug, many young people imperceptibly pour a narcotic substance into cocktails to their uncompromising girlfriends. The action of the drug comes about 5-10 minutes after use, and acts on the body for about two to three hours - as much as enough for a party.
Action on the body
The dose necessary to achieve the effect of easy intoxication, it is very difficult to calculate, because it is impossible to predict how an organism reacts to the use of chemistry.
There are three stages of intoxication after taking:
- Slight dizziness, increased mood, relaxation. To achieve this effect, it is sufficient to take 1-2 ml of the drug.
- Dizziness strong enough, butyrate poisoning leads to inadequate mental reactions, uncontrolled behavior, craziness. The desire to dance increases, there is an unrestrained sexual attraction to the opposite sex, an increase in orgasm. Using an increased dose can cause nausea and sometimes vomiting.
- Absolutely uncontrolled behavior, a person can not control his body, the boundaries of what is permissible are erased. A drug addict who has used a large dose of a drug, instead of the desired relaxing state, can fall into a narcotic sleep, which lasts up to 4-6 hours.
Addiction development
Most young people mistakenly believe that butyrate is not addictive. It is not true! Butyrate already with the first-second application causes a desire to take another dose, and after - again and again. It comes to the point that a butyrate drug addict can not sleep without a drug, can not work and fully enjoy life. As in situations with other drugs, to butyrate develops tolerance, that is, getting used to a certain dosage. The habitual amount of the drug ceases to have an effect and the proper effect, and the addict has to increase the dose, which is fraught with terrible consequences of taking butyrate. The dose is easily exceeded, since the effect of a single dose of the drug varies at different times. Today, a certain amount causes the effect of euphoria, and tomorrow the same dose can cause a narcotic coma.
Overdose of
Overdose of butirate is very easy to obtain - just a few milliliters increase the dose and the consequences can be unpredictable:
- addict completely loses the human face, can beat on the asphalt head, without feeling pain, is quite capable of crippling other people;
- deep narcotic sleep and simultaneous vomiting, in which the addict still does not wake up, lead to the vapors of vomit and the death of a person from suffocation;
- coma, leading to cerebral edema and, as a result, death.
Symptoms of overdose, which should be emphasized:
- fixed pupils;
- inconsistent speech incomprehensible;
- weak pulse;
- pallor of the skin, severe drowsiness, loss of consciousness;
- movement coordination disorder.
If the combination of these signs from a drug addict does not smell of alcohol, then it is possible to assume an overdose of butyrate. This condition requires urgent medical attention. What can not be done in any case, is to try to feed or give a drink to a drug addict, give any medication or even worse - drugs.
It is worth remembering that combining butyrate with alcohol-containing drinks or taking it before other narcotic drugs can cause irreparable harm to the body and cause the immediate death of the addict!
Overdose can be treated only in a hospital.
Treatment of
By consuming butyrate as a constant stimulation of the body, the drug addict risks not to live more than five years, and when receiving permanent overdoses, even less. To throw it to drink at home is impossible, it is necessary to be treated in conditions of narcological clinic, otherwise relapses, failures and heavy breaking are possible. First of all, the treatment is aimed at detoxification of the body. Given the toxicity of the drug, the patient can be shown plasmapheresis or a special procedure for the purification of blood - hemosorption. Butyrate removes potassium from the body, so it is extremely necessary for a drug addict to replenish the stores of vitamins and trace elements in the body.
The second phase of treatment is getting rid of the strongest mental dependence. It requires serious work with a psychologist, medical and social rehabilitation. This stage is very important because the addict simply does not see his life without a drug, he does not know how to enjoy ordinary things.
In conclusion, I want to warn parents who have children of adolescence - carefully monitor the status of their children, especially when they return from night discos. It is easier to grab the disease at the very beginning and prevent the child's further infatuation with drugs than to invest immense material and emotional strength in delivering his child from strong dependence.
