The combined use of GBL with stimulant drugs may increase the risk for rhabdomyolysis due to prolonged coma and immobilization in addition to the known risk of the stimulant drugs. The case of Ulrich and colleagues illustrates the risk of an increasing trend of combined party drug use in our country. In addition, it underscores the need to take sufficient blood and urine samples at first presentation to be at hand for additional analytical workups.
