Four cases of fatal intoxications with caffeine are described. Caffeine is widely available in beverages and in different OTC-products, in many of them in combinations with other drugs like ephedrine. Caffeine is not as harmless as one might believe. An overdose of caffeine alone, intentional or not, might be deadly. It seems to be warranted to include caffeine in the drug-screening of forensic autopsy cases. It is not motivated from a medical point of view to sell pure caffeine over the counter.
本文描述了4例咖啡因致死中毒案例。咖啡因在饮料和多种非处方药中广泛存在，其中许多还与麻黄碱等其他药物混合。咖啡因并非像人们认为的那样无害。单独过量摄入咖啡因，无论有意与否，都可能致命。在法医尸检案例的药物筛查中纳入咖啡因似乎是有必要的。从医学角度来看，非处方销售纯咖啡因是不合理的。
