Seriously! This is NOT good!
Health agencies are warning the public about an alarming rise in the abuse of medicines containing the narcotic hydrocodene like Vicodin, Norco, and Lortab.
How alarming? Police seizures of hydrocodone pills rose from 13,659 in 2001 to 44,815 in 2010!
Even SCARIER is that 8% of the nation’s 12th-graders have abused hydrocodone in the last year!
Talk to your kids about prescription drug abuse and keep any prescriptions LOCKED away.
There are few figures on the national death toll of the drug, but one study showed that hydrocodone caused 910 deaths in Florida ALONE between 2003 and 2007!
