Side effects of Narcotics

The narcotics prohibited in sports are those derived from morphine and its chemical and pharmacological analogues.

These substances act on central nervous system and reduce pain feeling. The use of narcotics causes a false sense of cure in an injured athlete that leads to ignorance of a potentially serious injury and risking further damage.

- Addiction
- Loss of balance and coordination
- Nausea and dizzines
- Insonmnia and depression
- Decreased hearth rate
