Mixing Drugs
|
|
Taking two or more drugs at one time can increase the risks
associated with their use and can be more dangerous than either
drug on their own. An example of this is taking alcohol and
tranquillisers together.
|
Using two or more drugs together can also complicate withdrawal
symptoms in babies and cause a severe withdrawal reaction. The
effects on the babies may even be more severe because of the
cumulative effects of different drugs. Mothers using heroin and
Rohypnol at the same time, for instance, can have babies who undergo
severe withdrawal.
