Testing Today Cuts Down on the Number of Drug Overdoses Involving Prescription Pain Relief
San Diego, CA, July 13, 2015 (Newswire.com) - According to statistical data, prescription painkiller use and overdosing has become a major epidemic. In 2008, for example, 15,000 people died as the result of overdosing on the prescription medicines.
The Centers for Disease Control recently described the U.S. as being involved in a serious crisis – a serious problem that has developed because of the staggering number of emergency room visits that are made to the emergency room by people who overdose on pain medicines. Statistics show that the number of deaths by females who overdose has jumped 400% from 1999 to 2010 – averaging a little over 6,500 deaths each year. A 265% increase has been reported in overdoses for men, all which equals to an average of 10,000 deaths annually for the same span of time.
