Abstract
(Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2023;48(7):365–374)
Over the years, many drugs have acquired colloquial “street names” in addition to their official designations. Familiarizing medical professionals, including anesthesiologists, with these slang terms can be crucial for effective patient care. Some drugs are named based on their physical appearance or packaging, which may differ from their clinical labels. This allows drug users and dealers to discuss substances discreetly in everyday conversation. Therefore, having a comprehensive list of street names associated with various drugs is essential for health care providers to ensure patient safety and provide appropriate care.
