Facts
- When a person takes their prescription medication as directed they can still become dependent on it and develop a tolerance to its effects. This means that their doctor may have to increase their dosage, thus increasing their chances of becoming addicted.
- In 1997 there were a total of 16 million stimulant prescriptions dispensed by U.S. retail pharmacies. This number increased substantially in the years following with upwards of 45 million stimulant prescriptions dispensed by U.S. retail pharmacies in 2010.�''
- Of the 1 million emergency department visits in 2009 due to prescription drug abuse, 343,000 involved prescription opioid pain relievers, a rate more than double that of 5 years prior.
- When a person abuses prescription painkillers their body develops a tolerance to the drug's effect. However, their respiratory system does not build the same tolerance which causes them to breathe shallower and slower the more medicine they take. �''
