Ready to learn about more designer drugs? Today we cover how to treat novel synthetic opioids and synthetic cathinones.

Key Points:
The specific treatment for novel synthetic opioid intoxication is 2 mg IV or 4 mg intranasal naloxone.
Novel synthetic opioids can cause respiratory depression, cyanosis, pulmonary edema, hypotension, and bradycardia.
Synthetic cathinone (aka bath salts) intoxication causes cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric and clinical lab abnormalities; such as hypokalemia, hyponatremia and CPK elevation.
