{"product_id":"medical-toxicology-of-drug-abuse-isbn-9780471727606","title":"Medical Toxicology of Drug Abuse","description":"This book provides a broad reference covering important drugs of abuse including amphetamines, opiates, and steroids. It also covers psychoactive plants such as caffeine, peyote, and psilocybin. It provides chemical structures, analytical methods, clinical features, and treatments of these drugs of abuse, serving as a highly useful, in-depth supplement to a general medical toxicology book. The style allows for the easy application of the contents to searchable databases and other electronic products, making this an essential resource for practitioners in medical toxicology, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, pharmaceuticals, environmental organizations, pathology, and related fields. \u003cp\u003eForeword xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReview Panel xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 Synthetic and Semisynthetic Chemicals 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI Amphetamines and Phenethylamine Derivatives 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Amphetamine and Methamphetamine 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Methylphenidate 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Prolintane 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Propylhexedrine 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eII Club Drugs 77\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Flunitrazepam 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Gamma Hydroxybutyrate and Related Drugs 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Ketamine 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Methcathinone, Mephedrone, and Methylone 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Ecstasy, MDMA) 126\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNicholas A.
