Does the availability of prescribed drugs affect rates of self poisoning? (1/778)

The trends in self-poisoning rates and in rates of prescribing of the major drug groups were compared. Over the period 1981-91, barbiturate prescribing and self poisoning both fell by 80%; for antidepressants, prescribing increased by over 40% and self poisoning by 30%; for antipsychotics, both rose by 30%; for benzodiazepines, poisoning fell by 30% and prescribing by 20%. Even for analgesic drugs, which are also available over the counter, there was a correspondence between changes in self poisoning and prescribing. The availability of prescribed drugs is directly related to their use for self poisoning. Restricting the availability of these drugs is a possible preventative strategy, although further research on this is needed.  (+info)

Effects of a drug overdose in a television drama on presentations to hospital for self poisoning: time series and questionnaire study. (2/778)

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether a serious paracetamol overdose in the medical television drama Casualty altered the incidence and nature of general hospital presentations for deliberate self poisoning. DESIGN: Interrupted time series analysis of presentations for self poisoning at accident and emergency departments during three week periods before and after the broadcast. Questionnaire responses collected from self poisoning patients during the same periods. SETTING: 49 accident and emergency departments and psychiatric services in United Kingdom collected incidence data; 25 services collected questionnaire data. SUBJECTS: 4403 self poisoning patients; questionnaires completed for 1047. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Change in presentation rates for self poisoning in the three weeks after the broadcast compared with the three weeks before, use of paracetamol and other drugs for self poisoning, and the nature of overdoses in viewers of the broadcast compared with non-viewers. RESULTS: Presentations for self poisoning increased by 17% (95% confidence interval 7% to 28%) in the week after the broadcast and by 9% (0 to 19%) in the second week. Increases in paracetamol overdoses were more marked than increases in non-paracetamol overdoses. Thirty two patients who presented in the week after the broadcast and were interviewed had seen the episode-20% said that it had influenced their decision to take an overdose, and 17% said it had influenced their choice of drug. The use of paracetamol for overdose doubled among viewers of Casualty after the episode (rise of 106%; 28% to 232%). CONCLUSIONS: Broadcast of popular television dramas depicting self poisoning may have a short term influence in terms of increases in hospital presentation for overdose and changes in the choice of drug taken. This raises serious questions about the advisability of the media portraying suicidal behaviour.  (+info)

Serotonin syndrome caused by overdose with paroxetine and moclobemide. (3/778)

Well known clinical syndromes can be produced by overdose with more commonly ingested substances such as opiates or tricyclic antidepressants. A case of a much more unusual syndrome presenting to the accident and emergency department resulting from overdose with a combination of tablets is reported. The clinical presentation of serotonin syndrome and its management are described. This resulted from acute ingestion of paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and moclobemide, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.  (+info)

Toxicological analysis of sulpiride in a lethal poisoning case. (4/778)

A fatality following ingestion of sulpiride is presented. The drug was identified and quantitated in postmortem blood by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection. The concentration was 38 microg/mL, which was in excess of 34 times the therapeutic concentration of sulpiride. For other associated drugs, their concentrations were in their therapeutic ranges.  (+info)

Therapeutic drug monitoring in drug overdose. (5/778)

The treatment of poisoned patients is still largely defined by history, clinical assessment and interpretation of ancillary investigations. Measurement of drug concentrations is clinically important for relatively few compounds. Most measurements form an adjunct to and should not be considered a substitute for clinical assessment. Drug concentrations are particularly important for those compounds where the concentration is predictive of serious toxicity in an otherwise asymptomatic patient.  (+info)

Effectiveness of delayed activated charcoal administration in simulated paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. (6/778)

AIMS: Oral activated charcoal is used to treat drug overdose and is effective at reducing drug absorption when administered within 1 h of drug ingestion. There are fewer data on efficacy when the delay is longer, as is the case in most drug overdoses. This study investigated the efficacy of activated charcoal at preventing paracetamol (acetaminophen) absorption after simulated overdose when administration was delayed between 1 and 4 h. METHODS: An open randomized-order four-way crossover study was performed in healthy volunteers comparing the effect of activated charcoal 50 g on the absorption of 3 g paracetamol tablets when administered after an interval of 1, 2 or 4 h or not at all. Plasma paracetamol concentrations were measured over 9 h after paracetamol ingestion using h.p.l.c. and areas under the curve between 4 and 9 h (AUC(4,9 h)) calculated as a measure of paracetamol absorption. RESULTS: Activated charcoal significantly reduced paracetamol AUC(4,9 h) when administered after 1 h (mean reduction 56%; 95% Confidence intervals 34, 78; P<0.002) or 2 h (22%; 6, 39; P<0.03) but not after 4 h (8%; -8, 24). When administered after 1 h activated charcoal reduced individual plasma paracetamol concentrations significantly at all times between 4 and 9 h after paracetamol administration. Administration at 2 or 4 h had no significant effect. CONCLUSIONS: These results in healthy volunteers cannot be extrapolated directly to poisoned patients. However, they provide no evidence of efficacy for activated charcoal when administered after an interval of more than 2 h.  (+info)

High-dose intravenous glucagon in severe tricyclic poisoning. (7/778)

A case of dothiepin poisoning complicated by cardiogenic shock is described. Hypotension was resistant to conventional inotropes but responded rapidly to high-dose intravenous glucagon. Glucagon should be considered as a useful therapeutic positive inotrope and a potentially antiarrhythmic agent in severe tricyclic antidepressant overdose.  (+info)

Unusual consequences of heroin overdose: rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, paraplegia and hypercalcaemia. (8/778)

A 29-yr-old man, known to be a heroin addict, was found at home totally unrousable, bent on his hips in the lotus position. On admission, he required frequent ventricular defibrillation, external pacing and infusion of calcium. A diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis caused by heroin and cocaine overdose was made. He developed paraplegia below T12, acute renal failure, acute compartment syndrome in one leg and a coagulation defect. Despite a fasciotomy, a through-knee amputation of the leg was required. Haemodialysis was required for 26 days, and this period was complicated by increased serum calcium concentrations, which was treated with disodium pamindrate. Calcium deposits were palpable in the muscles and could be seen in vessels on limb x-rays. After 34 days, he was eventually discharged to a general surgical ward and subsequently into the community.  (+info)

Drug Free NJ - News - nbcnews.com: Fentanyl Rises as Cause of Drug Overdose Deaths [VIDEO]
Theres a caveat here. Coroners and others who fill out death certificates have not always listed a specific drug as a cause of death. They are being encouraged to do so, and more death certificates now mention specific drugs than in years past. So its not entirely clear if the numbers have changed because specific drugs are being listed more often. Related: Drug Overdoses Killed 50,000 People Margaret Warner of the NCHS and colleagues used new methods to dig down into death certificates from 2010 to 2014 to find the top killers. During this five-year period, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths involving heroin more than tripled, and the rate of drug overdose deaths involving methamphetamine more than doubled, they wrote in their report. The rate of drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl more than doubled in a single year (from 2013 to 2014). Nearly half the deaths involved more than one drug, they found.

OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship between non-fatal overdose and risk of subsequent fatal overdose. METHODS: We assessed risk factors for overdose death among two prospective cohorts of persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Vancouver, Canada. Extended Cox regression was used to examine if reports of non-fatal overdose were associated with the time to fatal overdose while adjusting for other behavioral, social and structural confounders.

BACKGROUND Non-fatal drug overdose is a major cause of morbidity among people who use drugs, although few studies have examined this risk among street-involved youth. We sought to determine the risk factors associated with non-fatal overdose among Canadian street-involved youth who reported illicit drug use. METHODS Using data from a prospective cohort of street-involved youth in Vancouver, Canada, we identified youth without a history of overdose and employed Cox regression analyses to determine factors associated with time to non-fatal overdose between September 2005 and May 2012. RESULTS Among 615 participants, 98 (15.9%) reported a non-fatal overdose event during follow-up, resulting in an incidence density of 7.67 cases per 100 person-years. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, binge drug use (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]=1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.20-2.84), non-injection crystal methamphetamine use (AHR=1.70; 95% CI=1.12-2.58), non-injection prescription opiate use (AHR=2.56; 95%

Antidotes are available for some drug overdoses. An antidote is another drugthat counteracts or blocks the overdose drug. For example, an acetaminophen overdose can be treated with an oral medication, N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst),if the level of acetaminophen found in the blood is extremely high. Naloxoneis an antinarcotic drug that is given to counteract narcotic poisoning. Nalmefen or methadone may also be used. Psychiatric evaluation may be recommendedif the drug overdose was deliberate.. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long-term effects, therecan be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdosesituation, particularly if treatment does not begin ...

Community-Based Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs Providing Naloxone - United States, 2010Community-Based Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs Providing Naloxone - United States, 2010
Drug overdose death rates have increased steadily in the United States since 1979. In 2008, a total of 36,450 drug overdose deaths (i.e., unintentional, intentional [suicide or homicide], or undetermined intent) were reported, with prescription opioid analgesics (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone), cocaine, and heroin the drugs most commonly involved (1). Since the mid-1990s, community-based programs have offered opioid overdose prevention services to persons who use drugs, their families and friends, and service providers. Since 1996, an increasing number of these programs have provided the opioid antagonist naloxone hydrochloride, the treatment of choice to reverse the potentially fatal respiratory depression caused by overdose of heroin and other opioids (2). Naloxone has no effect on non-opioid overdoses (e.g., cocaine, benzodiazepines, or alcohol) (3). In October 2010, the Harm Reduction Coalition, a national advocacy and capacity-building organization, surveyed 50 programs known ...

MultiBrief: Organ donations on the rise, but increase linked to drug overdoses
Overall organ donations increased by 5 percent in 2015, which may seem like an encouraging statistic. But according to government data, 1 out of every 11 donors is a drug overdose victim. In 2015, nearly 850 organ donors died of drug intoxication, according to Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data. Thats 270 percent more than in 2006, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). In New England alone, the number of donors who died of drug overdoses has increased 575 percent over the past five years. The increase in donors in the past year is pretty substantial and not really anticipated, said David Klassen, chief medical officer for UNOS. A significant part of it can be explained by the drug overdoses as contributing to it, but not all of it. Theres a lot of effort in the transplant community to increase donation and awareness of seeking every last donor and try to be as efficient as possible. Even so, the number of people dying from drug overdoses is staggering. ...

Drug Overdose Prevention - MedStar St. Marys HospitalDrug Overdose Prevention - MedStar St. Marys Hospital
Drug overdose has become a serious public health challenge in Maryland and across the country. Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene statistics show state overdose deaths from prescription opioids continues to rise. From January to September 2016, there were 317 prescription opioids overdose deaths, up from 270 in 2015. More concerning is the spike in Heroin and Fentanyl , two cheaper, more easily obtainable alternatives for opioid users. Deaths from those drugs during the same time period more than doubled, rising to 1,656 in 2016 from 726 in 2015. Due to the progressive nature of this issue, a statewide strategy for reducing overdose deaths related to pharmaceutical opioids and heroin called the Overdose Response Program (ORP). This program was launched in 2014 to train and certify qualified individuals most able to assist someone at risk of dying from an opioid overdose when emergency medical services are not immediately available. Successfully trained individuals will receive a ...

Prescription pain killers are involved in more drug overdose deaths than either cocaine or heroin in the USAPrescription pain killers are involved in more drug overdose deaths than either cocaine or heroin in the USA
Drugs called opioids are frequently prescribed to relieve pain, but if abused they can kill. Over the past 15 years, sales of opioid pain killers, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone and fentanyl, have increased, and deaths from these drugs have increased in parallel.. In 2002, over 16,000 people died in the USA as a result of drug overdoses, with most deaths related to opioids, heroin, and cocaine. Opioids surpassed both cocaine and heroin in extent of involvement in these drug overdoses between 1999 and 2002.. The situation appears to be accelerating. Between 1979 and 1990 the rate of deaths attributed to unintentional drug poisoning increased by an average of 5.3% each year. Between 1990 and 2002, the rate increased by 18.1% per year. The contribution played by opioids is also increasing. Between 1999 and 2002 the number of overdose death certificates that mention poisoning by opioid pain killers went up by 91.2%. While the pain killer category showed the greatest increase, death ...

Preventing opioid overdose deaths with take-home naloxone | www.emcdda.europa.euPreventing opioid overdose deaths with take-home naloxone | www.emcdda.europa.eu
This publication examines the case for distributing naloxone, an emergency medication, to people who inject opioids such as heroin and to others who might witness an opioid overdose. Through its capacity to reverse opioid overdose, naloxone can save lives if administered in time. This comprehensive review looks at opioid overdose and how naloxone counteracts it, and discusses the circumstances of opioid overdose deaths and the use of naloxone in regular clinical practice. As well as documenting the historical development and spread of take-home naloxone programmes in Europe and beyond, the study looks at the practical side of their implementation, including the training of naloxone recipients in how to recognise and respond to an overdose. Although take-home naloxone is supported by the World Health Organization, the report finds that barriers to its access exist in Europe and considers how the availability of the intervention may be expanded.. ...

Law address prescription of drug overdosesLaw address prescription of drug overdoses
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday vetoed legislation that would have required county coroners to report drug overdose deaths to the California medical board but signed two other bills intended to address abuse of prescription drugs. The vetoed bill was from Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, who said it was drafted to help the medical board track overdose deaths and assist officials searching for patterns among those deaths. The Democratic governor said in a statement that he rejected SB62 over concerns that the state could be required to reimburse local governments for their reporting costs. Brown said the measures he approved, along with more vigorous efforts by the board, will help detect and prevent prescription drug abuse without further burdening taxpayers. The two bills Brown signed into law were drafted in response to a Los Angeles Times investigation regarding deaths from prescription drug overdoses. In nearly half the cases reviewed by the newspaper, the drugs that caused the ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the availability of paracetamol and its use for overdose and suicide. DESIGN: Analysis of routinely collected information on time trends for paracetamol suicides, non-fatal overdoses, and sales. SETTING: England and Wales and France. RESULTS: There were strong correlations between trends in paracetamol sales in the UK and trends in non-fatal paracetamol overdose in Oxford between 1976 and 1993 (Spearmans r = 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54, 0.96) and between paracetamol sales and non-fatal overdoses in France between 1974 and 1990 (r = 0.99; 95% CI 0.97, 1.00). Sales figures were also correlated with paracetamol related suicides in both England and Wales, 1983-91 (r = 0.72; 95% CI 0.11, 0.94) and France, 1974-90 (r = 0.79; 95% CI 0.50, 0.92). Similarly strong relationships were observed between trends in non-fatal overdoses and suicide by paracetamol poisoning in England and Wales (r = 0.85; 95% CI 0.61, 0.95) and France (r = 0.79; 95% ...

States Laws Increase Access to Naloxone for Drug Overdoses | CSG Knowledge Center
Yesterday the Office of National Drug Control Policy urged that first responders be equipped with naloxone, a medication used to counteract opiate overdoses. Some states already have laws on the books to do just that.. In a CSG research brief posted yesterday, CSG examined laws passed by states to increase access to naloxone, sometimes known by its brand name Narcan. Twenty-one states and D.C. have passed laws that increase access to naloxone and provide civil immunity to persons administering the antidote or reduce the fear of criminal repercussions for overdose victims and bystanders when they report an overdose.. CSG also surveyed legislation introduced so far in states 2014 sessions and found seven new states moving to adopt these harm reduction laws and another seven looking to amend their current laws..

Opioid-related deaths rates in the United States continue to rise. A decades-long US prescription drug epidemic persists, driven by high rates of per capita opioid analgesic dispensing, and is now paired with a growing availability of illicit heroin, fentanyl, and fentanyl derivatives. Rates of opioid use disorders, opioid treatment admissions, opioid-related emergency department (ED) and hospital admissions, and overdose mortality have all steadily increased since 1990.8 In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that for every unintentional overdose death related to an opioid analgesic, 9 people were admitted for substance abuse treatment, 35 visited EDs, 161 reported drug abuse or dependence, and 461 reported nonmedical uses of opioid analgesics.10 Recent federal and state reform efforts seek to bolster a public health response to opioid use disorders and overdose deaths.14,50 The availability and dissemination of core evidence-based interventions that treat and ...

Ohio is in the middle of a drug overdose epidemic, not an opioid epidemic or an opioid crisis. Fentanyl and powerful variants, such as carfentanil, are killing large numbers of users of cocaine, meth and other drugs.. The states narrow emphasis on heroin users and opioid addiction has missed a major reshaping of drug overdose death in the last three years. Ohio has a drug overdose epidemic - not an opioid use epidemic - and the problem is a broadly contaminated supply of prohibited drugs..

Acetaminophen-cysteine adducts during therapeutic dosing and following overdose | BMC Gastroenterology | Full TextAcetaminophen-cysteine adducts during therapeutic dosing and following overdose | BMC Gastroenterology | Full Text
Acetaminophen-cysteine adducts (APAP-CYS) are a specific biomarker of acetaminophen exposure. APAP-CYS concentrations have been described in the setting of acute overdose, and a concentration |1.1 nmol/ml has been suggested as a marker of hepatic injury from acetaminophen overdose in patients with an ALT |1000 IU/L. However, the concentrations of APAP-CYS during therapeutic dosing, in cases of acetaminophen toxicity from repeated dosing and in cases of hepatic injury from non-acetaminophen hepatotoxins have not been well characterized. The objective of this study is to describe APAP-CYS concentrations in these clinical settings as well as to further characterize the concentrations observed following acetaminophen overdose. Samples were collected during three clinical trials in which subjects received 4 g/day of acetaminophen and during an observational study of acetaminophen overdose patients. Trial 1 consisted of non-drinkers who received APAP for 10 days, Trial 2 consisted of moderate drinkers dosed

Expanding Naloxone to Reduce Opiate Overdose DeathsExpanding Naloxone to Reduce Opiate Overdose Deaths
The post-incarceration overdose death rates of heroin-dependent people in the U.K. are truly appalling. Everybody knows that drugs are readily available in prison, but this is an urban myth that has been conclusively disproved by careful research. In reality, most addicts cant get drugs in prison and as a result their tolerance wanes. When released, they take drugs at their former dose levels, putting themselves at high risk of overdose.. The Guardian reports that widespread naloxone provision upon prison release is being considered in the U.K. Naloxone is an inexpensive opiate antagonist that will reverse the acute effects of opiate overdose (e.g., suppressed respiration). The benefits are temporary and the underlying addiction remains intact, but the extra 30-60 minutes of time (and oxygen) the drug provides to an overdosed opiate user can prove life saving. President Obamas national drug control strategy endorsed expanding access to naloxone among public health and safety professionals, ...

Baclofen in overdose - Baclofen Treatment for AlcoholismBaclofen in overdose - Baclofen Treatment for Alcoholism
A review of the scientific literature about baclofen overdoses shows that they are uncommon and rarely cause death. This in spite of baclofen being used already for decades to treat millions of people with incurable and often progressive neurological problems such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries.. The best reviews of baclofen overdoses are those based on review of comprehensive toxicology service databases. These give the truest picture of the spectrum of baclofen overdoses. The other data comes from case reports or reports of small series but will tend to represent more severe or unusual cases..

Joint Position Statement on Expanding Access to Naloxone - October 7, 2014Joint Position Statement on Expanding Access to Naloxone - October 7, 2014
On Oct. 6, 2014, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), joined with the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) and American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT), to jointly publish a position statement advocating expanding the access to naloxone throughout the United States in the October 2014 issue of Clinical Toxicology.. Over the past three decades, drug overdose deaths in the United States have tripled and in 2008, unintentional poisoning deaths surpassed the number of motor vehicle deaths for the first time. Of the 38,329 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2010, 60 percent (22,134) were related to pharmaceuticals, with 75 percent of those deaths involving prescription opioid analgesics. Concurrently, heroin deaths have risen 55 percent between 2000 and 2010.. In overdose scenarios, opioids (including morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone and fentanyl) cause slowed breathing which can lead to hypoxia and, if untreated, death. Timely administration ...

While loath to admit it, one of the driving factors behind this heartbreaking epidemic is indeed prescription opioid use. Not only are the prescription drugs themselves contributing to the massive death toll, they are indirectly increasing the number of people who use street drugs like heroin. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that an estimated 80 percent of heroin users started out using prescription pain-killers.. In other words, opioid pain-killers are not just responsible for the deaths of people who overdose on a prescription drug, they are also responsible for the deaths of an overwhelming majority of heroin users.. As Amy Goodman from Democracy Now! reports, its been estimated that a staggering 52,000 people died from a drug overdose in 2015 - and over half of those deaths were related to opioid pain medications, heroin or fentanyl. Goodman explains further, To put the death toll in perspective, opioid deaths have surpassed the peak in death by car crash in 1972, AIDS deaths ...

Workplace Injuries Contribute to Rise in Suicide, Overdose Deaths | SPHWorkplace Injuries Contribute to Rise in Suicide, Overdose Deaths | SPH
Suicides and opioid overdoses have both become much more common over the last two decades, and may be driving the recent decline in US life expectancy.. Now, a study co-authored by School of Public Health researchers shows that workplace injury significantly raises a persons risk of suicide or overdose death.. The study, published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, found that an injury serious enough to lead to at least a week off of work almost tripled the combined risk of suicide and overdose death among women, and increased the risk by 50 percent among men.. These findings suggest that work-related injuries contribute to the rapid increase in deaths from both opioids and suicides, says study senior author Leslie Boden, professor of environmental health. Prior research has shown that injured workers are at increased risk of depression, have been treated frequently with opioids, and have suffered long-term earnings losses. This led us to wonder whether workplace injuries led to ...

The ACLUs Deadly Prescription for Addiction :: The American Civil Rights UnionThe ACLUs Deadly Prescription for Addiction :: The American Civil Rights Union
This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published February 6, 2014 on The Washington Times website.. Drug overdoses are in the news again with the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman. The 46-year-old actor was found dead on Sunday in his Manhattan office-apartment of an apparent drug overdose. Investigators found a large quantity of heroin and prescription medications.. Heroin abuse is on the rise, and so is the abuse of a variety of prescribed narcotics, or opioids.. Overdoses linked to opioid-based prescription drugs, such as oxycodone, have more than quadrupled since 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out why.. There was a fourfold increase in opioid sales between 1999 and 2010, which corresponds to our fourfold increase in overdose deaths involving opioid pain relievers, said Christopher M. Jones, team leader of the prescription-drug overdose team in the CDCs National Center for Injury Prevention ...

Safe Opioid Prescribing in the Era of OverdoseSafe Opioid Prescribing in the Era of Overdose
The number of opioid prescriptions filled in US pharmacies has tripled since the early 1990s, skyrocketing from 76 million in 1991 to 219 million in 2001.1 During this time period, emergency department visits from opioid misuse or abuse and opioid-related drug overdose deaths also rose sharply.. Continuing the upward trajectory, emergency department visits attributable to opioids increased from 600,000 to more than 1.2 million from 2004 to 2010, and overdose deaths have quadrupled from 4000 to more than 12,000 annually from 1999 to 2010, according to data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.2. As a result many states are enacting legislation to ensure appropriate, safe opioid prescribing, said Brett Badgley Snodgrass, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, of Comprehensive Primary Care in Bartlett, Tennessee.. Safe prescribing is of utmost importance, primarily to decrease diversion and abuse, but also to make it as safe and appropriate for our patients, she said.. To ensure safe ...

Project FUTURE is a comprehensive strategy to educate parents and children about the dangers of prescribed medicine, synthetic drugs, and other illegal drugs that are plaguing communities in West Virginia. The goal is for every child to live a life free from drug abuse, and we plan to achieve that goal through education, enforcement, and proper medication disposal.. The consequences of medicine abuse have increased dramatically, causing the death toll from pain pills to triple over the past decade. Every day in America 2,500 teens use a prescription drug to get high for the first time. Due to this alarming trend more accidental deaths are now caused by drug overdoses than by car accidents. West Virginia is ranked #1 in the nation for drug overdose deaths, making West Virginia ground zero for this nationwide epidemic. Every 9.5 hours, someone dies in West Virginia of a drug overdose.. Synthetic drugs, including fentanyl and carfentanyl, are a silent and deadly threat, hence the need for more ...

Carrboro Police Reverse Fourth Overdose with Naloxone - Chapelboro.comCarrboro Police Reverse Fourth Overdose with Naloxone - Chapelboro.com
Carrboro Police have once again used naloxone to reverse a drug overdose.. Police say officers were called to a reported heroin overdose just before 10 oclock Friday night where authorities found an unconscious subject.. A release says an officer then administered naloxone, which allowed the patient to regain consciousness, according to police. The subject then walked to a waiting ambulance for continued treatment.. This is the fourth time Carrboro Police have used the life-saving drug to reverse an overdose. The first reversal was in January 2015.. Orange County was honored in late 2015 for the Naloxone Project, which was pushed forward through work from the Orange County Health Department.. Police continue to asked that you call 911 if you suspect someone is in an overdose state and remain with the individual until assistance arrives.

According to independent investigators who investigated the cause of his death, the officer was video-recorded pocketing fentanyl from a Lewiston patrol car dash camera during the arrest of a suspect named Jamil Dabson.. Dabson was the passenger of a taxi pulled over by a Maine State Police trooper, who pulled him over because his headlights were off at night.. The trooper then searched Dabson for drugs and found 86 grams of fentanyl bricks in Dabsons possession.. Dabson allegedly attempted to flee the scene, according to News Week.. According to the independent investigators, Meserve is said to have slipped some of the drug evidence into his pants pocket as he assisted fellow officers who were picking up fentanyl Dabson had thrown to the ground..

Mandy, a 9 ½ year old very beloved lab mix, came in to Animal Hospital of North Asheville in the evening of June 4, 2012 as an emergency. Mandy had found a bottle of Phenobarbital tablets that had just been purchased at the drug store for Mindy, one of the other dogs in the family.

Device for Opioid Overdoses Releases Naloxone Automatically - NewsemiaDevice for Opioid Overdoses Releases Naloxone Automatically - Newsemia
Opioids can bind to brain receptors that are responsible for breathing, causing hypoventilation, and all too frequently leading to death in those that overdose. Naloxone (aka Narcan) is an antidote that prevents opioids from binding to brain receptors, but when a person does overdose its often too late for them to administer the life-saving drug themselves, as they may be incapacitated.. Now, researchers at Purdue University have developed a smart system, which includes an implantable naloxone-releasing device, that can automatically halt an overdose without anyones intervention..
