NSW Police seized and examined the tablets which are pink, irregular shaped and marked with an Audi logo.High dose MDMA tablets have recently been found in NSW
Medical Director of the NSW Poisons Information Centre, Dr Darren Roberts said consuming high doses of MDMA has been linked to cases of serious illness and death. "It can cause severe agitation and paranoia, raised body temperature, seizures or fits, irregular heart rhythm and death," Dr Roberts said.
"While one MDMA tablet alone can cause life-threatening toxicity, the risk is greatly increased if high doses or multiple MDMA tablets are consumed over a short period, or if MDMA is consumed in combination with other stimulants, such as cocaine.""Importantly, look after your mates. If you feel unwell, or if your friend feels unwell, do something about it. Don't ignore it. You won't get into trouble for seeking medical care," he said.
