Future Growth Analysis And Synthesis By
2024
Opioids are generally prescribed for treating pain. The opioid drug class includes morphine,
hydrocodone, oxycodone, heroin, codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and methadone. It is also used as a
cough suppressant and in diarrhea treatment. Opioids can be administered either through pills, liquids,
intravenous, transdermal patches, or lozenges. Developed countries in North America and Europe are
notorious for the high levels of abuse of this drug. Drugs such as codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and
hydrocodone have become a source of addiction, especially among the population in these regions due
to easy availability of the drugs in these regions. According to the World Drug Report 2016, a
staggering 17.4 million people were affected by opioid drug abuse in 2014. However, global
organizations and regulatory agencies such as the FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and World Health Organization (WHO) are working towards limiting the abuse of opioids by creating
awareness and educating prescribers to be cautious while prescribing these drugs. In 2016, the CDC
issued guidelines to prescribe opioids, limiting the daily dose of opioids to 90 morphine milligram
equivalent (MME).
