Label the cap and communicate dangers of OPIOIDS and BENZODIAZEPINES
The Issue
America’s opioid epidemic left unchecked could claim 1 million lives by 2020! The opioid and exploding 'benzo' benzodiazepine crisis are resulting in 175 people deaths everyday not only claiming lives but placing first responders, family and friends at risk.
Following a dangerous personal experience and complete communication failure about the risk/dangers of Tramadol (Ultran), I want to break this cycle.
1. ALL persons receiving opioids or benzodiazepine medication should have prescription tops labeled in red 'OPIOID' or 'BENZO'.
2. Every patient should receive a single sheet, easy to read, large text 'Fast Facts' disclosure sheet regarding the enormous risks of these medications.
