==Toxicity and harm potential==

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 5-APB use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the [[Toxicity::exact toxic dosage is unknown]]. This is because 5-APB has very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried 5-APB within the community suggest that there do not seem to be any negative health effects attributed to simply trying this ~~substance~~ at low to moderate doses by itself and using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

5-APB's high affinity for the 5-HT2b receptor makes it likely that 5-APB would be cardiotoxic with long-term use, as seen in other 5-HT2B agonists such as [[fenfluramine]] and [[MDMA]].

It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible ~~substance~~ use|harm reduction practices]] when using this drug.

===Tolerance and addiction potential===

As with other [[stimulant]]s, the chronic use of 5-APB can be considered [[Addiction potential::moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse]] and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users. When addiction has developed, cravings and [[withdrawal effects]] may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.
