Prescription Pain Medication

Last year, unintentional prescription pain medication overdoses were the number one cause of injury deaths in Utah, even more than motor vehicle crashes.

Many of these deaths could be avoided by using medication only as prescribed: not taking more than prescribed or more frequent doses than prescribed, not sharing medications, and not mixing with other depressants such as alcohol, sleep aids, or anti-anxiety medications.

Resources

There are many resources available for teens, adults, parents, seniors and healthcare providers.
