Designer drugs.
Designer drugs are synthetic analogs of substances with known psychoactive properties. These analogs are dangerous due to their direct pharmacological effects and the presence of toxic by-products that occur during synthesis. Three groups of designer drugs are reviewed (fentanyl, meperidine, and methamphetamine analogs), and their psychoactive effects and clinical presentations are described.
