How the request works

The first contact does not oblige you to start treatment. You can briefly describe the situation, ask questions and get guidance about the safe next step.

If there are acute symptoms, loss of consciousness, seizures, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe hallucinations or a suspected overdose, you need to call emergency medical help.
