Drug Overdose Leading Cause of
Death in US
Press Release Oct. 2011
For the first time in U.S history, the number of
drug overdose fatalities has surpassed the number
of automobile accident deaths.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), in 2009 alone, 37,485 people
died from a drug overdose, which exceeds the 36,284
people who lost their lives in car accidents.
The majority of drug fatalities were caused by
overdosing OxyContin, fentanyl and morphine; all
of which classify as legal medication prescribed
by physicians.
Furthermore, “The FDA Opioid Stategy”
hopes to significantly decrease drug overdoses
by requiring better physician education on proper
pain management and patient selection, in addition
to educating the public on proper drug dosage
and appropriate disposal methods of superfluous
drugs stored in medicine cabinets.
