Among the poisoned persons the number of men prvailed. In the year 1994 65,2% of poisoned were men, and in the year 1995 68,3%. Among the intoxicating substances alcohol was predominant (in 1994 there were 26, and in 1995 39 overdoses with alcohol). According to frequency the overdoses with heroin were at the second place. In the year 1994 24 with heroin poisoned persons and in the year 1995 21 persons were admitted to the General Hospital of Izola. The suicide attempt wasn't considered in any case.

Summary		Predoziranje z drogami predstavlja enega najresnejših zapletov pri uporabnikih različnih drog. Posledica predoziranja je lahko tudi smrt. V prispevku so opisani sprejemi zaradi prekomerne uporabe različnih drog in drugih strupov v ambulanti nujne internistične pomoči v Splošni bolnišnici Izola v letih 1994 in 1995. V letu 1994 je bilo sprejetih 89 oseb, leta 1995 pa je bila sprejeta 101 oseba. Med zastrupljenci so prevladoval moški. Leta 1994 je bilo 65,2% zastrupljencev moškega spola, leta 1995 pa 68,3%. Med snovmi, s katerimi so se zastrupile, je prevladoval alkohol (leta 1994 je bilo 26 in leta 1995 39 predoziranih z alkoholom). Po pogostnosti so bila na drugem mestu predoziranja s heroinom. Leta 1994 je bilo v Splošno bolnišnico sprejetih 24 zastrupljencev s heroinom, leta 1995 pa 21. Zdravniki niso med zastrupljenimi s heroinom nikoli posumili na poizkus samomora. Visoko je tudi število oseb, ki so se zastrupile z rayličnimi tabletami, med katerimi prevladujejo predvsem benzodiazepinski preparati (19 oseb v letu 1994 in prav tako v letu 1995).
