AB The  classical  triad  of  central  nervous  system  depression,  respiratory  depression,  and  pinpoint  pupils  characterizes  opioid  toxicity.Some  opioids,  such  as  methadone  can  have  delayed  or  prolonged  effects.Opioids  can  cause  acute  lung  injury  or  noncardiogenic  pulmonary  edema  in  severe  overdoses.Toxicity  from  propoxyphene,  meperidine,  and  tramadol,  as  well  as  neonatal  opioid  withdrawal,  can  result  in  seizure  activity.Airway  management  and  the  use  of  the  pure  opioid  antagonist  naloxone  are  the  mainstays  of  opioid  toxicity  treatment.
