Captagon Pills
News: Following Syria’s reinstatement as a member of the Arab League, questions about the trafficking in Captagon pills have once more taken centre stage.
A highly addictive substance of the amphetamine class known as “captagon pill” is mostly made in Syria.
Fenetylline, a synthetic medication from the same phenethylamine family as amphetamine, was a component of the original Captagon.
Up until the 1980s, it was commercially available in a number of nations before being outlawed over concerns that it was highly addictive.
It boosts one’s energy, improves focus, allows one to stay awake for longer periods of time, and creates a euphoric experience by stimulating the central nervous system.
These kinds of medications often remain in the blood for about 36 hours.
When consumed orally, their effects reach their peak one to three hours after consumption and extend for up to seven to twelve hours.
They may result in loss of appetite, weight loss, heart issues such as an accelerated heartbeat, an irregular heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and a heart attack that may be fatal.
They may also result in a stroke, high body temperature, flushed skin, memory loss, and difficulty thinking coherently
