Mukamaganiza "mliri," mungaganizire nkhani zakale zamatenda am'mimba kapena zoopsa zamasiku ano monga Zika kapena matenda opatsirana pogonana. Koma mliri waukulu kwambiri komanso woopsa kwambiri womwe America akukumana nawo masiku ano ulibe kanthu kochita ndi kutsokomola ndi kuyetsemula, kapena kunenepa kwambiri. Ndi mankhwala. Ndipo sitinena za mtundu wosaloledwawo.

Chiwerengero chachikulu cha anthu aku America ndi omwe amakonda kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo opioid mopitirira muyeso. Anthu pafupifupi 33,000 adafa chifukwa cha opioid mu 2015 ku US Pafupifupi 15,000 mwa iwo adalumikizidwa mwachindunji ndi mankhwala opha ululu, malinga ndi Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nambala imeneyo yatero kanayi kuyambira 1999. Mosakayikira, sizabwino. (Chidziwitso ndi mphamvu, ndiye Nazi zonse zomwe muyenera kudziwa musanamwe mankhwala opha ululu.)

Ndicho chifukwa chake komiti ya Senate ikutsegula kufufuza ngati machitidwe a makampani asanu akuluakulu a mankhwala a ku United States, omwe amapanga mankhwala opweteka a mankhwala, ayambitsa nkhanza za opioid zomwe zachititsa kuti anthu ambiri afe mopitirira muyeso. Nyumba ya Senate ikuyang'ana gawo la Purdue Pharma, gawo la Janssen la Johnson & Johnson, Insys, Mylan, ndi Depomed, kupempha zambiri zokhudzana ndi malonda ndi malonda, maphunziro amkati okhudzana ndi zizolowezi, kutsata malamulo, ndi zopereka kumagulu olimbikitsa, malinga ndi kutulutsidwa ndi US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs.Lipoti la mliri wa opioid likunena kuti makampaniwa amagwiritsa ntchito njira zokayikitsa zogulitsa (monga kuwononga chiopsezo cha kuledzera ndikuyamba odwala pamiyeso yayikulu kwambiri) ndikupereka zopereka zosaloledwa kulimbikitsa madotolo ndi anamwino kuti apereke mankhwala awo opioid.

"Mliriwu ndi zotsatira zachindunji cha njira yowerengetsera malonda ndi malonda opanga ma opioid akuluakulu akuti adatsata zaka zapitazi za 20 kuti awonjezere gawo lawo la msika ndikuwonjezera kudalira kwa opha ululu amphamvu-ndipo nthawi zambiri ... njira zina, kuchepetsa chiopsezo cha kuledzera kwa mankhwala awo ndi kulimbikitsa madokotala kuti apereke opioid pazochitika zonse za ululu ndi mlingo waukulu, "analemba Senator wa ku United States Claire McCaskill wa ku Missouri m'makalata ake kwa makampani.

Opioids amalumikizana ndi zolandilira pama cell a mitsempha m'thupi ndi muubongo kuti apange chisangalalo kuwonjezera pakuchepetsa ululu, ndicho chifukwa chake amachitiridwa nkhanza, malinga ndi National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Ma opioid omwe amaperekedwa ndi dokotala akuphatikizapo oxycodone (monga: OxyContin), hydrocodone (monga Vicodin), morphine, ndi methadone, omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pochiza ululu wochepa mpaka woopsa ndipo nthawi zambiri amaperekedwa pambuyo pa opaleshoni kapena kuvulala, kapena pazochitika monga khansara, ku CDC. Ndiye pali mankhwala fentanyl- opioid opioid reliever omwe ndi 50 mpaka 100 mwamphamvu kuposa morphine, ndipo amangogwiritsira ntchito kupweteka kwambiri. Ngakhale mutha kupeza mankhwala a fentanyl, palinso msika wosavomerezeka wa mankhwalawa, omwe CDC imanena kuti ndiomwe amayambitsa kufa kwa anthu ambiri chifukwa cha fentanyl.

CDC ikuyerekeza kuti mu 2014 mokha, anthu opitilira 2 miliyoni aku America amadalira mankhwala opioid opha ululu. Pomwe theka la anthu omwe amafa ndi opioid amachokera kuzinthu zina kuposa otsekemera akumwa, mankhwalawa amatha kukhala njira zogwiritsa ntchito ma opioid ena (kuphatikiza magwero osaloledwa, monga heroin). M'malo mwake, ogwiritsa ntchito ma heroin atsopano anayi mwa asanu adayamba kumwa mankhwala opha ululu, malinga ndi American Society of Addiction Medicine. M'malo mwake, kumwa mankhwala opha ululu akumwavulaza basketball ndiomwe pamapeto pake kumapangitsa kuti mtsikanayo akhale chidakwa.

Ena mwa makampani adayankha makalata a McCaskill: Purdue Pharma adauza CNBC, "Vuto la opioid ndi limodzi mwazovuta zazikulu zathanzi mdziko lathu, ndichifukwa chake kampani yathu idadzipereka kwazaka zambiri kuti ikhale gawo la yankho." Ndipo mneneri wa J & J Janssen adati, "Tikukhulupirira kuti tachita moyenera, moyenera, komanso mokomera odwala pokhudzana ndi mankhwala opweteka a opioid, omwe amavomerezedwa ndi FDA ndipo amakhala ndi machenjezo olamulidwa ndi FDA okhudza zoopsa zodziwika za mankhwala chizindikiro chilichonse." Mylan adati "alandila chidwi cha senator pankhani yofunika iyi ndipo tikugawana nkhawa zake zokhudzana ndi kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika mankhwala opioid," ndipo "ngakhale ndife ocheperako mdera lino, ndife odzipereka kuthandiza kupeza mayankho pankhani yakuzunza opioid ndi kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika."

Ziribe kanthu zomwe kafukufukuyu akuwonetsa, ndikofunikira kudziwa zinthu zanu zikafika pazomwe zili pa Rx slip kuchokera kwa doc yanu. Muyeneranso kudziwa zizindikilo zofala za kudalira mankhwala osokoneza bongo komanso kuzunzidwa. Nkhani zina zabwino zokuthandizani kumva pang'ono zabwino pankhaniyi: Kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi kungakhale chinthu chabwino kwambiri chothandizira kuthana ndi vuto la opioid. (Kupatula apo, wothamanga amakhala wamphamvu ngati mankhwala.)
