    The main ingredients of meth, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, are found in common cold medicines. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is trying to control the sales of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine by forcing customers to have to register at the counter and get a doctor’s prescription to buy common cold medicines in order to refrain from the availability of the ingredients to meth users. I, as a citizen, am not willing to go through an extra step of getting a doctor’s script for a cold to make meth go away.…

    The current FDA protocol calls for pharmacies to be registered under the FDA and these pharmacies must get approval from the FDA to sell these drugs (Kindy and Sun 3). Even though the FDA approves the drugs, there is no way to monitor how many doctors are prescribing, In addition, the FDA was forced to change its rules because pharmacies were ordering drugs without the government’s consent (Tavernise 1). However, with the advancement of technology, patients should be required to undergo strict background checks, aimed at identifying those individuals who go from one doctor to another obtain additional prescription drugs. This will allow the FDA to identify drug abusers and assist them in finding the help they need to overcome addiction or dependency. With this drug monitoring program, doctors will be able to help reduce drugs abuses, saving the medical industry millions of dollars in medical costs associated with drug addicts and…

    Prescription Drug Reform

    • 6 Pages

    Prescription drugs are effective at treating many diseases and prolonging life with certain diseases that at one time was considered a death sentence. Many of these come at a steep price and when unable to afford some the medications it is common for people to travel outside of the country to purchase the drugs that they need. Mexico and Canada are common places people will travel to in order to acquire such drugs. There are busses that take groups across the boarders specifically for these types of purchases. This is a common practice among the elderly and helps make the drugs much more affordable. One concern with purchasing these drugs across the borders is that there is not much regulation and there is a potential to be purchasing drugs that are less potent or even expired. They may not…

    2014 was such a year. With snow suddenly falling in February, everyone was caught off guard by the inclement weather. As a junior in highschool I clung to the tv and computer screen checking to see the school’s inclement weather announcement. I refreshed and refreshed until finally it appeared, “school closed”. Yes! Like a miner who just stuck oil I danced around the house telling the entire household about the news. School was closed and that could mean nothing else but more sleep. Though wide awake, I crawled back into my now chilled bed to catch up on sleep and dreamed of awaking to a winter wonderland.…
