Description
National surveys show that intentional misuse of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs is on the rise among young people. Four out of ten teens believe that abusing prescription drugs is safer than taking illegal drugs. This informative pamphlet offers hard facts about the risks associated with abusing any medicine in order to get high. Specific attention is paid to these commonly-abused medicines: cough syrup (Dextromethorphan), OxyContin, Valium, Vicodin, Ritalin, and more. Reminds students that just because a drug is legal, it does not mean it is safe. Includes details on how to read labels properly in order to safely use medicines as prescribed.
