Pain Medication Overdose
Pain medications such as oxycodone, Demerol, Darvocet, morphine and codeine are difficult to manage for several reasons, including the following:
- Pain medications can be highly addictive.
- Patients often develop tolerance to pain medication, causing them to need more of the drug to alleviate pain.
- Pain medication can be dangerous when mixed with other medications or with certain types of food.
- Excessive pain medication can lead to overdose or death.
There is often a stigma associated with pain medication overdose. In fact, most people who suffer from pain medication addiction need the medicine to cope with excruciating pain. Doctors who prescribe pain medication carelessly are putting their patients’ lives at risk.
