  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Histamines which are released by methadone can cause hypotension or bronchospasms.
  • A number of fatal fentanyl overdoses have been caused by time-release fentanyl patches which were prescribed to legitimate users for pain; a defect caused the patch to malfunction causing an excessive amount of the drug to leak and become absorbed by patients, resulting in life-threatening side effects and death in some cases.
  • One of the most painful aspects that is related to the high incidence of drug overdose related deaths in United States, is the number of children throughout this country that are orphaned as a direct result of losing one or both of their parents to this deadly epidemic.
  • Fentanyl patches sold on the black market can either be cut up or eaten, or the gel inside of the patch can be smoked.
  • Currently in the United States, there is very little funding for overdose prevention; unfortunately, the overdose epidemic continues to escalate as the federal grants for these types of preventative programs are not being approved for funding.
