During the past 10 years, the use of methamphetamine has increased rapidly in the West and throughout the United States. Because of this increase, our attention has focused on methamphetamine's toxicity. Methamphetamine and related compounds generate many of the same toxic effects as cocaine. Because of methamphetamine's widespread use, clinicians should be familiar with its medical effects and toxicity and with treatment options for acute and long-term effects of methamphetamine abuse.
在过去十年中,甲基苯丙胺的使用在西方及美国各地迅速增加。由于这种增长,我们的注意力集中在了甲基苯丙胺的毒性上。甲基苯丙胺及相关化合物产生的许多毒性作用与可卡因相同。鉴于甲基苯丙胺的广泛使用,临床医生应熟悉其医学作用和毒性,以及甲基苯丙胺滥用急性和长期影响的治疗选择。
