RESUMENEn Medellín, la prevalencia de consumo de drogas en el último año es del 3.6% y es el grupo de edad más predominante entre los 19 y 29 años. Sin embargo, hay un subregistro relevante sobre el consumo de las nuevas drogas que son vendidas como alternativas legales a las drogas clásicas de abuso. El objetivo de este reporte es mostrar tres casos que muestran las complicaciones cardiovasculares, neurológicas y musculares asociadas con 4-bromo-2,5-dimetoxifeniletilamina (2CB), sustancia conocida en Colombia desde 2007. El consumo de 2CB está en aumento y es prioritario que los profesionales de la salud reconozcan sus riesgos. Palabras clave: feniletilaminas; rabdomiolisis; psicosis inducidas por sustancias. ABSTRACTThe prevalence of drug consumption in Medellin over the last year was 3.6%, where the principal age group was between 19 and 29 years. The phenomenon of the consumption of new drugs being sold as legal alternatives to the classic drugs of abuse has been greatly underreported. The objective of this report is to show three cases with muscular, neurological, and cardiovascular complications associated with 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenylethylamine (2C-B), a substance known in Colombia since 2007. The consumption of 2C-B is on the rise and must become a priority for health professionals due to the risks involved. Keywords: phenylethylamines; rhabdomyolysis; psychoses, substance-induced.
