Treatment of Synthetic Cannabinoid Intoxication
IV sedation with benzodiazepines For patients taking synthetic cannabinoids, the treatment is supportive. IV fluids and sedation with IV benzodiazepines are typically adequate. Patients with hyperthermia, persistent tachycardia or agitation, and elevated serum creatinine should be admitted for further monitoring for rhabdomyolysis and cardiac and renal injury.
