Drug Prescriptions

Chloe Blood

Introduction

Healthcare providers over prescribed opioids to the patients, didn't give all of the information about the drugs , and didn't have the patient’s long term interest. To better the lives of abusers and prescribers, it would be best to evaluate the patients before giving the opioids to avoid any problems. It would also help to regulate the patients’ prescriptions and educate them more on the risks and what exactly they are taking.
