In 2007, unintentional prescription pain medication overdoses were the number one cause of injury deaths in Utah, even more than motor vehicle crashes.
Help prevent these types of deaths by following these tips:
1) Never take prescription pain medication that is not prescribed to you.
2) Never adjust your own doses.
3) Never mix with alcohol.
4) Taking with other depressants such as sleep aids or anti-anxiety medications can be dangerous.
5) Always keep your medications locked in a safe place.
6) Always dispose of any unused or expired medications.
