How are some pills effecfive on their own but fatal when combined with a particular other pill?
In: Biology
Medicine interactions and side effects often happen due to stacked effects of medications.
1. Ibuprofen has blood thinning properties. Aspirin and warfarin do, too. This can lead to dangerously thin blood and death.
2. Heroin/morphine are depressants. That means they slow down the body. The heart rate slows. Breathing slows. Even thinking is slowed down. Guess what else is a depressant? Xanax. By themselves, morphine and xanax are perfectly safe in correct dosages. Together, they can slow down the body enough that a person’s heart or breathing can stop.
