Excessive ingestion of drugs is a very dangerous situation that can cause serious harm to the body and even endanger life. If you or someone else accidentally overdoses a certain drug, the safest and most effective way is to seek medical help immediately. The following are some self-help measures in emergency situations, but please note that these measures **cannot replace professional medical treatment**, and can only be used as a temporary emergency.： ### 1. **Stay calm** -Try to stay calm and avoid panic. Excessive tension may exacerbate symptoms. ### 2. **Stop taking the medicine immediately** -If you realize that you have taken an overdose of drugs, stop taking them immediately. ### 3. **Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed** -If you or others experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and confusion, make sure your respiratory tract is unobstructed. You can take a side lying position to prevent vomit from clogging the respiratory tract. ### 4. **Drink water** -If the drug is taken orally, you can drink moderate amounts of water to help dilute the concentration of the drug, but do not drink too much water to avoid causing other problems. ### 5. **Do not induce vomiting** -Do not induce vomiting on your own unless expressly instructed by your doctor. Some drugs may cause secondary damage to the esophagus or respiratory tract when inducing vomiting. ### 6. **Stay awake** -If you feel drowsy, try to stay awake and avoid losing consciousness. ### 7. **Contact emergency medical help** -Even if you feel okay temporarily, you should immediately call the emergency number (such as 120 in China) or contact your local poison control center for professional guidance. ### 8. **Provide drug information** - Try to provide information such as the name, dose, and time of use of the drug so that medical personnel can quickly judge and deal with it. ### 9. **Observe symptoms** - Closely observe the symptoms of yourself or others, such as rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, confusion, convulsions, etc., and report to medical personnel in a timely manner. ### 10. **Don't rely on home therapy** -Do not rely on home remedies or unproven methods to deal with drug overdoses, which may delay treatment time or worsen the condition. ### Important reminder： **Drug overdose is a medical emergency and professional medical help must be sought as soon as possible. Even if you feel okay temporarily, the side effects of some drugs may appear a few hours or even a few days later. Delaying treatment may cause irreversible injury or life-threatening. If you or others have suicidal tendencies or long-term drug abuse problems, it is recommended to seek the help of a psychiatrist or professional institution as soon as possible to avoid a similar situation happening again. **Safety first, health first. **
