Abstract

Background: A very dangerous activity among youth and young adults is the indiscriminate mixing and sharing of prescription drugs, often in combination with alcohol or other drugs. The effects of these combinations of substances can be fatal.Case Report: A 28 years old adult male with alleged history of DIAZEPAM and PARAQUAT poisoning was admitted with complaints of chest discomfort, epigastric pain, vomiting and drowsiness. The patient developed ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS), MULTIPLE ORGAN DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME (MODS) and expired on the next day. To conclude, DIAZEPAM even though considered to be a safer drug, has risk of drug abuse and is fatal when taken in overdose along with other central nervous system depressants. PARAQUAT is a highly toxic compound widely used as herbicide and ingestion of the drug causes death due to respiratory failure.Conclusion: The present study emphasizes on the proper surveillance of DIAZEPAM intake in known psychiatric patients and strict rules must be enforced by the Government on marketing of herbicides and pesticides.
