Overdose

An overdose occurs when someone takes too much of a substance, such as drugs or alcohol, leading to harmful effects on the body. This can happen accidentally or intentionally and can result in symptoms ranging from nausea and confusion to respiratory failure and even death. The severity of an overdose depends on the substance involved, the amount taken, and the individual's health. Immediate medical attention is often required to reverse the effects and ensure the person's safety. Prevention includes using substances responsibly and being aware of the prescribed dosages and potential dangers.
