INCORPORATION OF AN EMETIC IN DRUGS AS A SAFETY SYSTEM IN RESPECT OF POSSIBLE OVERDOSES, PARTICULARLY IN DRUGS ACTING ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM SUCH AS BENZODIAZEPINE AND DERIVATIVES, BARBITURATES... AND DRUGS FOR PAEDIATRIC USE

摘要

The invention describes the incorporation of an emetic into a drug as a safety system in respect of possible overdoses, in particular into drugs acting on the central nervous system such as benzodiazepines and derivatives, barbiturates... and drugs for paediatric use. Furthermore, the invention describes incorporation of the emetic into the formulation of any drug for animal use, introduction into foods for human or animal use which is of an animal or vegetable nature and/or includes genetically modified organisms. The objective of this safety system is prevention of secondary effects through overdosage of the drug employed, and therefore, in order to ensure this, the invention the amalgamation of an emetic, in the present case ipecacuanha, into a drug, generalising the possible drugs or inputs thereof as set out in the description and claims in such a manner that when at maximum dosage of the drug, beyond which overdosage is referred to, one is simultaneously at the minimum dosage for the emetic to act causing vomiting, in this manner the toxicity of pharmacological overdosage would be inhibited, preventing the undesirable effects entailed thereby, ensuring safer and more appropriate use of the pharmacological composition.
