Opiods are prescription pain killers that contain compounds from the opium poppy. They are used to control cancer symptoms and pain, as well as chronic pain from diseases like osteoarthritis. But they also are one of the most dangerous drugs in the U.S. – killing more people every year than skin cancer, HIV and alcoholic liver disease, according to a study reported in Science Daily. The study, published in The British Medical Journal, calls for new restrictions on pharmaceutical sales commissions for these drugs, and more educational programs for doctors prescribing these drugs.
