Why do so many drugs NEED a prescription and why can’t all (or most) be bought without a prescription?
In: Biology
Many drugs scan be abused or misused without a prescription. Opioids are a big one. People can easily become addicted and can overdose on them if they use too many.
Another issue is just proper use of the medication. Take insulin for example. Nobody is going to go and get high off of insulin, but it’s not difficult to give yourself too much or too little if you don’t know what you are doing. Improper use can have severe side-effects including coma and death. And it doesn’t take a lot to do this.
