TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Cardiotoxic effects of raw opium JO - Indian journal of critical care medicine A1 - Garg, Piyush A1 - Hitawala, Asif Ali A1 - Agarwal, Manoj SP - 46 EP - 48 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - While opioid drug toxicity and side effects of long-term opioid use during medical care are well studied, there is little information regarding effects of ingestion of raw opium. Characterization of the effects to a particular alkaloid is difficult since raw opium contains a number of alkaloids. Here, we present a case of poisoning due to ingestion of raw opium leading to severe myocardial suppression.
