De Drugs van het voorschrift doden 300 Percenten Meer Amerikanen dan Onwettige Drugs

Maandag, 10 November, 2008

Door David Gutierrez | Een rapport door de Commissie van de Examinators van Florida Medische heeft besloten dat de voorschriftdrugs onwettige drugs als doodsoorzaak hebben overtroffen.

Een analyse van 168.900 autopsies die in Florida in 2007 geleid vond dat werd drie keer zo vele mensen gedood door wettelijke drugs zoals door samengebrachte cocaïne, heroïne en alle methamphetamines. Volgens de handhavingsambtenaren van de staatswet, is dit een teken van een uitgroeiend voorschriftdruggebruik probleem.

Het „misbruik heeft epidemische aandelen,“ bovengenoemde Lisa McElhaney, een sergeant in de farmaceutische eenheid van de drugafleidingsactie van het Bureau van de Sheriff van de Provincie Broward bereikt. „Het is enkel explosief.“

In 2007, was de cocaïne de oorzaak van 843 sterfgevallen, heroïne voor 121, methamphetamines voor 25 en marihuana voor nul, voor een totaal van 989 sterfgevallen. In tegenstelling, werden 2.328 mensen gedood door opioid pijnstillers, met inbegrip van Vicodin en Oxycontin, en 743 werden door drugs gedood die benzodiazepine, met inbegrip van het kalmeringsmiddelenValium en Xanax bevatten.

De alcohol veroorzaakte direct 466 sterfgevallen, maar werd gevonden in de organismen van 4.179 cadavers alles bij elkaar.

Terwijl het aantal lijken die heroïne bevatten 14 percenten van het vroegere jaar, aan een totaal van 110 sprong, worden beïnvloed steeg het aantal sterfgevallen die door pijnstilleroxycodone met 36 percenten, aan een totaal van 1.253.

Over het land, zijn de voorschriftdrugs een meer en meer populair alternatief aan moeilijker geworden om onwettige drugs te verwerven. Zelfs aangezien het onwettige druggebruik onder tieners is gevallen, voorschriftis het druggebruik gestegen. Bijvoorbeeld, terwijl 4 percent van de V.S. de 12de nivelleermachines gebruikten Oxycontin in 2002, tegen 2005 die het aantal tot 5.5 percenten had verhoogd.

Het is niet moeilijk voor teens om door voorschriftdrugs, volgens Sgt. te komen Busby van Tracy, supervisor van de Calaveras Provincie, Californië, de narcoticaeenheid van het Bureau van de Sheriff.

„U gaat naar elk geneeskundekabinet in de provincie, en ik wedde u één of andere soort voorschriftgeneeskunde in het percent van 95 van hen gaat vinden,“ hij zei.

De volwassenen kunnen voorschriften verwerven door verwondingen te vervalsen, of door veelvoudige artsen en apotheken voor de zelfde gezondheidsklacht te bezoeken. Sommige mensen krijgen meer drugs dan zij denken om dan de supplementen te vereisen, te verkopen.

„U hebt gezondheidszorgleveranciers in kwestie, hebt u artsenklanten, en dan zijn er misdaden als het roven van drugverzendingen,“ bovengenoemde Jeff Beasley van het Ministerie van Florida van de Handhaving van de Wet. “There is a multitude of ways to get these drugs, and that’s what makes things complicated.”

And while some people may believe that the medicines’ legality makes them less dangerous than illegal drugs, Tuolumne County, Calif., Sheriff’s Office Deputy Dan Crow warns that this is not the case. Because everybody reacts differently to foreign chemicals, there is no way of predicting the exact response anyone will have to a given dosage. That is why prescription drugs are supposed to be taken under a doctor’s supervision.

“All this stuff is poison,” Crow said. “Your body will fight all of this stuff.”
Tuolumne County Health Officer Todd Stolp agreed. A prescription drug taken recreationally is “much like a firearm in the hands of someone who’s not trained to use them,” he said.

While anyone taking a prescription medicine runs a risk of negative effects, the drugs are even more dangerous when abused. For example, many painkillers are designed to have a delayed effect that fades out over time. This can lead recreational users to take more drugs before the old ones are out of their system, placing them at risk of an overdose. Likewise, the common practice of grinding pills up causes a large dose of drugs to hit the body all at once, with potentially dangerous consequences.

“A medication that was meant to be distributed over 24 hours has immediate effect,” Stolp said.

Even more dangerous is the trend of mixing drugs with alcohol, which, like most popularly abused drugs, is a depressant.

“In the case of alcohol and drugs, one plus one equals more than two,” said Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lt. Dan Bressler.

Florida pays careful attention to drug-related deaths, and as such has significantly better data on the problem than any other state. But a recent study conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) suggests that the problem is indeed national. According to the DEA, the number of people abusing prescription drugs in the United States has jumped 80 percent in six years to seven million, or more than those abusing cocaine, Ecstasy, heroin, hallucinogens an inhalants put together.

Not surprisingly, there has been a corresponding increase in deaths. According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, the number of emergency room visits related to painkillers has increased by 153 percent since 1995. And a 2007 report by the Justice Department National Intelligence Drug Center found that deaths related to the opioid methadone jumped from 786 in 1999 to 3,849 in 2004 - an increase of 390 percent.

Many experts attribute the trend to the increasing popularity among doctors of prescribing painkillers, combined with a leap in direct-to-consumer marketing by drug companies. For example, promotional spending on Oxycontin increased threefold between 1996 and 2001, to $30 million per year.

Sonora, Calif., pharmacist Eddie Howard reports that he’s seen painkiller prescriptions jump dramatically in the last five years.

“I don’t know that there is that much pain out there to demand such an increase,” he said.
The trend concerns Howard, and he tries to keep an eye out for patients who are coming in too frequently. But he admits that there is little he can do about the problem.

“When you have a lot of people waiting for prescriptions, it’s hard to find time to play detective,” he said.

Still, the situation makes Howard uncomfortable.

“It almost makes me a legalized drug dealer, and that’s not a good position to be in,” he said.
