Drug poisoning can cause symptoms affecting various body systems. For instance, the respiratory system may exhibit coughing and tachypnea; the digestive system may present with abdominal pain and diarrhea. In severe cases, symptoms such as dyspnea, coma, seizures, and even shock may occur. Overdose may also lead to hepatic and renal dysfunction. When taking medications, always carefully read the package insert and avoid using drugs indiscriminately.
