Rhabdomyolysis in a Patient Taking Both Oxandrolone for Bodybuilding and Methamphetamine

چکیده
Nonprescription drug use is increasingly prevalent in the United States. We report a case of a 31-year-old male who presented with hallucinations and was found to have rhabdomyolysis. He was consuming oxandrolone for six weeks and ingested methamphetamine the night prior to presentation. With supportive treatment, including intravenous hydration, the patient's mental status returned to baseline and rhabdomyolysis resolved. Our case illustrates the need to understand the interaction between different illicit substances. More research needs to be done to further understand the reactions between different medications as patients consume different combinations of substances.
