Methoxyflurane is a white powdery substance that is insoluble in water. It is a non-barbiturate intravenous short-acting hypnotic drug, commonly used in medical practice in two formulations: a solution and an emulsion. Due to its minimal effects on the respiratory and circulatory systems, it is frequently used as one of the drugs for anesthesia induction. In clinical settings, it is primarily used for general anesthesia induction but can also be utilized for short-term surgical anesthesia.
People who consume methamphetamine experience symptoms such as dizziness, unsteady stance, slurred speech, and trembling hands. In severe cases, they may faint, lose consciousness, or even die. Long-term, high-dose methamphetamine use can lead to emotional disturbances, irritability, laziness, and affect an individual’s mood, thoughts, and behavior.
