Prescription Drugs are Killers
What is more likely, being killed in a car crash, or by a drug prescribed to you by your doctor?
The latter, unfortunately.
“… the most commonly abused prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma now cause more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. ”
In fact, seven of the top 10 drugs used by 12th-graders were prescription drugs… More than 40 percent of high school seniors reported that painkillers are “fairly” or “very” easy to get.
Nearly 20 percent of Americans have used prescription drugs for nonmedicinal reasons.
And more deaths that car crashes. And murders.
Doctors make the prescription, even though they know the drugs they prescribe are addictive, and that addiction can kill you.
