Answers
Answer:
Kratom has a number of known side effects, including:
Weight loss
Dry mouth
Chills, nausea and vomiting
Changes in urine and constipation
Liver damage
Muscle pain
Kratom also affects the mind and nervous system:
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Hallucinations and delusion
Depression and delusion
Breathing suppression
Seizure, coma and death
Many of the problems that occur with pain medications happen when these drugs are used at high doses or over a long period of time. It's not known exactly what level of kratom is toxic in people, but as with pain medications and recreational drugs, it is possible to overdose on kratom.
Explanation:
It would be safer if you just follow the recommendation, since an overdose can be fatal. If not prescribed, then please try not to take it.
Hope this helps.
Kratom, a derivative of an Asian evergreen tree, that contains the stimulant mitragynine and narcotic 7-hydroxymitraginine, is used by as many as 5 million people in the United States. The substance has been touted as an alternative approach to pain management.
However, some have suggested it shares many of the harmful effects associated with opioid use and that some products made from kratom are contaminated with salmonella.
The latter of these concerns culminated in the historical development of April 3, when the FDA issued a mandatory recall for all food products containing powdered kratom manufactured, processed, packed, or held by Triangle Pharmanaturals LLC. The agency said it was the first-ever mandatory recall because a company failed to comply with the agency’s request to conduct a voluntary recall.
“We ... have serious concerns about the safety of any kratom-containing product and we are pursuing these concerns separately,” FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD, said in announcing the recall.
The bad
Gottlieb’s comments alluded to the alarm the FDA sounded well before the April 3 announcement.
