A utilização das anfetaminas por motoristas de caminhão

Abstract

Faced with the problem of traffic accidents, there are several studies that address the increasing use of amphetamines among truck drivers. It is emphasized that these professionals are extremely important for society, therefore, greater attention is needed for this category in order to prioritize the quality of life and the improvement of their working conditions. That's because truck drivers are appropriating a medicine for weight loss and using it to stay awake, acquiring it illegally, putting their lives and others' lives at risk in traffic. The academic work will seek to answer the following problem: What is the profile of amphetamine-using drivers and what are the effects observed in the body of truck drivers? In view of the above, the monographic study will seek to report, based on the scientific literature, the toxicological effects of the use of amphetamines by truck drivers, focusing on their effects on the user's body. The instrument used will be bibliographical research using materials already published as a magazine and of a scientific nature, scientific articles, books. The research will use qualitative means, explaining something already reported in the bibliography, with a pure purpose covering something already described and documented.
