  • Title: Ice--a new drug of concern?
    Author: Beebe DK, Walley EJ.
    Journal: J Miss State Med Assoc; 1994 Aug; 35(8):225-7. PubMed ID: 7932687.
    Abstract:
    Methamphetamine has long been a drug of abuse. Recently, a resurgence of its use has spread across the country. A smokable form of methamphetamine hydrochloride with the street name "ice" has spread eastward from Hawaii and California. It has strong stimulant properties, is twice as toxic as amphetamine, is associated with multiple system effects similar to cocaine. Treatment of acute intoxication is symptomatic and may include hydration, temperature regulation, seizure management, control of agitation, and monitoring for cardiac arrhythmias. Long-term treatment of addiction requires drug rehabilitation and inpatient counseling.
