Toxicity to pets
Amphetamines are drugs taken legally for medicinal use and illegally for recreational use. Clinical signs associated with excessive stimulation of the central nervous system (agitation, restlessness) and cardiovascular system (elevated heart rate and blood pressure) occur with overdose in animals. Gastrointestinal signs (vomiting) and severe hyperthermia (increased body temperature) also occur.
