–combined drug intoxication (CDI) is an unnatural cause of ‘human death’-
.
*also known as multiple drug intake (MDI) or lethal intoxication*
.
CDI is often confused with drug overdose, but it is a different phenomenon.
It is distinct because it is due to the simultaneous use of multiple drugs, whether the drugs are prescription, over-the-counter, recreational, or some other combination.
Alcohol can exacerbate the symptoms and may directly contribute to increased severity of symptoms.
The reasons for toxicity vary depending on the mixture of drugs.
Usually, most victims die after using two or more drugs in combination that suppress breathing, and the low blood oxygen level causes brain death
The CDI/MDI phenomenon seems to be becoming more common in recent years.
In December 2007, according to Dr. John Mendelson, a pharmacologist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, deaths by combined drug intoxication were relatively “rare” (“one in several million”), though they appeared then to be “on the rise”
In July 2008, the Associated Press and CNN reported on a medical study showing that over two decades, from 1983 to 2004, such deaths have soared.
(it has also become a prevalent risk for older patients)
