- Because of its stimulant properties and the environment in which it is often
used, MDMA is associated with vigorous physical activity for long periods of
time. This can lead to one of the most acute and significant side effects,
although rare, ie a marked increase in body temperature (hyperthermia).
Treatment of hyperthermia requires prompt medical attention and that can
lead to rapid muscle breakdown, which in turn can lead to kidney failure. In
addition, susceptible people may suffer from dehydration, hypertension and
heart failure. MDMA can also reduce the effectiveness of the cardiac pump,
which is particularly worrying in periods of increased physical activity, further
complicating these problems. MDMA is rapidly absorbed into the human
bloodstream, but once inside the body MDMA metabolites affect the body's
metabolism, interfering with their ability to break down the drug itself. As a
result, additional doses of MDMA can produce unexpectedly high blood levels,
which could worsen
