Abstract

We hereby report a first case of substance abuse, where regular insulin by intravenous route has been misused to augment the cocaine abuse to derive sedation, euphoria, and a state of semi-consciousness leading to medication error in the form of extensive thrombophlebitis/cellulitis necrotising fasciitis. The said case report is important to create awareness among the drug regulatory authorities regarding this new face of substance abuse, which can prove potentially fatal among abusers warranting necessary regulatory action.
