Injecting Basics, dangers of IVing pills. READ THIS before posting IV pill questions!
Hello everybody!
("Hi, Dr. Nick!")
SWIM is compiling information for a sticky thread in the opiates section about the risks, dangers, and things to avoid when shooting pills. There has been alot of requests for information lately along the lines of if percocet or other APAP (tylenol) containing pills are safe to inject with a CWE. To SWIM's knowledge there is no completely safe way to do this. SWIM has been looking for information on the ACTUAL dangers associated with shooting acetaminophen, but is having some trouble finding any on the internet.
So, if anyone out there can provide some good info on why, exactly, IVing a pill with acetaminophen is dangerous, please post it here!
Also, SWIM is digging up info on why IVing pills is dangerous, so any information about that should be posted too.
Thanks for your help, hopefully we can make this into a good resource that will help minimize harm when using IV drugs.
