F.33 Slovenian patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 33659865The number of new psychoactive substances (NPS) has increased, as NPS cause euphoria, create a sense of energy and relaxation, and stimulate the need to socialize. NPS are divided into five groups: phenethylamines, piperazines, piperidines, tryptamines and synthetic cannabinoids. The information regarding their toxicity is very scarce. Therefore, some national and European projects for monitoring the consumption of NPS and the occurrence of poisonings with NPS are being carried out. In Slovenia, a national system for continuous monitoring of NPS poisonings (SONDA) has been developed. When emergency department staff consult with the Centre for Clinical Toxicology and Pharmacology on suspected cases of acute NPS intoxication, they are asked to collect blood and urine samples for free-of-charge toxicological analysis in the Institute for Forensic Medicine. The advantage of the proposed project is also the collection of medical records. This enables us to link clinical presentation and treatment to the identified NPS. The results of the project are reported to Early Warning System of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Euro-DEN. This has improved the system of identifying and informing about new drugs in Slovenia and Europe.
