An overdose occurs when an individual takes more than the recommended or safe amount of a substance, such as medication, drugs, or alcohol, leading to potentially life-threatening symptoms.
This can happen intentionally, as in cases of self-harm or substance abuse, or unintentionally, due to miscalculation, misunderstanding of dosage instructions, or mixing substances.
Symptoms of an overdose can vary widely but often include confusion, vomiting, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, seizures, coma, or even death.
Prompt medical attention is crucial in treating an overdose, as timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes and prevent long-term health consequences or fatalities.
