    (Cureus, 2022-01-01) Tinawi, Mohammad; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Caffeine is the core ingredient in energy drinks. These drinks are commonly consumed by athletes around the time of their workout to boost energy levels. The patient in the case presented is a 40-year-old-man who developed severe rhabdomyolysis after consuming an energy drink with high content of caffeine prior to a strenuous workout. He was successfully treated with isotonic intravenous solutions. Clinicians should be aware of the potential adverse reactions associated with the use of energy drinks.
