What are the various health consequences of Injecting Drugs i.e. Intravenous administration?
When drugs are prepared for injection by a street user, dust, dirt, and other contaminants fall into the liquid. Injecting such drugs directly into veins by hypodermic syringes bypasses many of the body’s natural defense mechanisms such as the skin, respiratory cilia, digestive acids, etc. & bacteria, dust and other particles are injected along with the drug. Moreover, The rapid delivery of drugs via injection makes it difficult for the user to control the intensity of the drug effect, thus making toxic overdoses more likely.
