Question 1

GHB

Answer 1

When taken in excessive doses, this illicit drug causes rapid onset of CNS and respiratory depression, myoclonic jerking and bradycardia. Management of intoxication is supportive. The duration of toxic effects is short, with complete recovery occurring within 4–8 hours. Gamma-butyrolactone and 1,4-butanediol are precursor drugs that are rapidly metabolised to GHB and cause identical toxicity.

Question 2

Glyphosate

Answer 2

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide.

Severe toxicity occurs as result of deliberate ingestion of a concentrated formulation.

It manifests with gastrointestinal corrosive symptoms and, in large ingestions, severe metabolic acidosis, hyperkalaemia and cardiovascular collapse can occur.
