Kratom has been classified as possibly unsafe <br />when taken orally. <br />Kratom has a number of known side effects, including. <br />• Weight loss <br />• Dry mouth <br />• Chills, nausea and vomiting <br />• Changes in urine and constipation <br />• Liverdamage <br />• Muscle pain <br />Kratom also affects the mind and nervous system. <br />• Dizziness <br />• Drowsiness <br />• Hallucinations and delusion <br />• Depression and delusion <br />• Breathing suppression <br />• Seizure, coma and death <br />Kratom takes effect after five to 10 minutes, and its effects last two to five hours. The effects of <br />kratom become stronger as the quantity taken increases. In animals, kratom appears to be more <br />potent than morphine. Exposure to kratom has been reported in an infant who was breastfed by a <br />mother laking kratom. <br />Many of the problems that occur with pain medications happen when these drugs are used at high <br />doses or over a long period of time. It's not known exactly what level of kratom is toxic In people, <br />but as with pain medications and recreational drugs, it is possible to overdose an kratom. <br />At one time, some researchers believed that kratom might be a safe alternative to opioids and <br />other prescription pain medications. However, studies on the effects of kratom have identified <br />many safety concerns and no clear benefits. <br />Kratom has been reported to cause abnormal bra n function when taken with prescription <br />medicines. When this happens, you may experience a severe headache, lose your ability to <br />communicate or become confused. <br />In a study testing kratom as a treatment for symptoms of opioid withdrawal, people who took <br />kratom for more than six months reported withdrawal symptoms similar to those that occur after <br />opioid use. Too, people who use kratom may begin craving it and require treatments given for <br />opioid addiction, such as naloxone (Narcan) and buprenorphine (Buprenex). <br />Kratom also adversely affects infant development. When kratom is used during pregnancy, the <br />baby may be born with symptoms of withdrawal that require treatment. <br />,,M1F r Y r,in, r. g n a'nY fesjie -- —Itt„ J ,,9 'r li—vrt Z➢ 2' 111, Z5 <br />
