BARRIOS PERALTA, Elkin René; OVIEDO LUGO, Gabriel Fernando; CASTELLANOS GARZON, Rafael Gustavo and RODRIGUEZ PRADA, Catalina. Basuco Consumption: Relevant Aspects for its Treatment. Univ. Med.

Cocaine paste (basuco) is an illicit drug consumed mainly in Latin American countries, which is combined with other chemical products to achieve a lower cost in the market: this makes it easier to access for many people. The consumption of basuco produces short and long-term effects on the body, the person, family and society. In this document, aspects related to the neurobiology of basuco addiction, diagnosis of intoxication and therapeutic options are explored.
