31
TYPES AND USES OF DRUGS:
• Generally, drugs may be classified into legal and
illegal drugs. Laws and regulations control the
availability, quality and price of the "legal"
drugs.
• Medicines that doctors prescribe to patients
are examples of legal drugs. Illegal drugs, on
the other hand, have no price or quality
controls. This means that a user can never be
sure that the drug they are taking is in fact
what they think it is. The user also cannot be
sure of a drug's strength or purity.
What are drugs?
A drug is any substance which alters the way the body
functions. There are lots of different types of drugs.
Some drugs are legal. Many adults in the
UK regularly drink alcohol and smoke
tobacco.
Some drugs are illegal. Cannabis,
cocaine and Ecstasy are all illegal
drugs.

Some drugs, like paracetamol, have certain health


benefits. They help us overcome illnesses, diseases and
infection. It is still important
to be careful when taking these drugs.
•The prescriptive drugs- These are drugs
requiring from a doctor to allow a
purchase.
•The over the counter drugs- These are
drugs requiring written authorization
from a doctor to allow a purchase.
•Self medication syndrome
•Is found in users and would be users of
drugs whose sources of information are
people or literature other than doctors,
pharmacist and health workers. (member
of family, neighbours, relatives etc.)
The Physiology of Drugs
How drug works?
• Most of drugs works within a cell, a drug enters a
cells and participates in a few steps of the normal
sequence
• When two drugs are taken together, within a few
hours they may interact with unexpected results.
DRUG DOSAGE
• A dose of a drug is the amount taken at one time.
• The doses taken become an extremely important
part of drug abuse.
The most common drug in a dose can be described as:

• Minimal dose – the amount needed to treat or heal, that is,


the smallest amount of drug that will produce a therapeutic
effect.
• Maximal dose – the largest amount of a drug that will
produce a desired therapeutic effect without any
accompanying symptoms of toxicity.
• Toxic Dose – the amount of drug that produces untoward
effect or symptom of poisoning.
• Abusive dose – the amount needed to produce the side
effects and action desired by an individual who improperly
uses it.
• Lethal dose – the amount of drug that will cause death.
How Drugs are administered?
the common methods of drug administration are as
follows:
• ORAL INGESTION - The drugs is taken by the
mouth and must pass through the stomach before
being absorbed into the bloodstream, the one of
the most common ways taking a drug.
• INHALATION - Drug in gaseous form enter the
lungs and are quickly absorbed by the rich capillary
system, it is probably the second most commonly
used route of drug administration.
• INJECTION - The drug can be administered into
the body by the use of syringe and hypodermic
needle in the following ways.
• Subcutaneous (SC) - Drug is administered by
injecting the drug just below the surface of
the skin; this is sometimes called “skin
popping.”
• Intramuscular (IM) - Administration involves
the injection of a drug into a large muscle mass
that has a good blood supply, such as the
gluteus maximus, quadriceps, or triceps.
• Intravenous (IV) - The most efficient means
of administration which involves depositing
drug directly into the bloodstream, this is also
the most rapid method of drug administration.
• SNORTING - Inhalation through the nose of drugs
not in gaseous form, it is sometimes inhaling a
powder or liquid drug into the nose coats of the
mucous membrane.
• BUCCAL - The drug is administered by placing them
in the buccal cavity just under the lips and the
active ingredients of the drug will be absorbed into
the bloodstream through the soft tissues lining of
the mouth.
• SUPPOSITORIES - The drug is administered
through the vagina or rectum in suppository form
and the drug will also be absorbed into the
bloodstream.
• TOPICAL- application of drugs directly to a
body site such as the skin and the mucous
membrane.

• IONTOPHORESIS- introduction of the drugs


into the deeper layer of the skin by use of
special type of electric current for local
effect.
How addiction is acquired?
Association - The tendency of a the abuser to
look for peer groups where he feels being
wanted and accepted.
Experimentation – the tendency of a person to
try and explore the effects of drugs due to
curiosity or other reasons.
Inexperienced doctors – the tendency of
doctors and physicians to unnecessarily
prescribe drugs.
TOXICOLOGY
Toxicology is commonly known as the science of
poisons, their effects and antidotes. In connection,
drugs may cause dangerous effects because of any
of the following:
• Overdose – when too much of a drug is taken into
the physiological system of the human body, there
may be an over extension of its effects.
• Allergy – some drugs cause the release of histamine
giving rise to allergic symptoms such as dermatitis,
swelling, fall in blood pressure, suffocation and
death.
Idiosyncrasy – it refers to the individual reaction
to a drug, food, etc. for unexplained reasons.
Morphine for example, which sedates all men,
stimulates and renders some women maniacal
behaviors.
Poisonous Property – drugs are chemical and some
of them have the property of being general
protoplasmic poisons.
Side Effects – some drugs are not receptors for
one organ but receptors of other organ as well. The
effect in the other organs may constitute a side
effect, which are most of the time unwanted.
MEDICAL USES OF DRUGS
 Analgesics – are drugs that relieve pain. However,
they may produce the opposite effects on somebody
who suffers from peptic ulcer or gastric irritation.
 Antibotics – are drugs that combat or control
infectious organisms.
 Antipyretics – those that can lower body
temperature or fever due to infection.
 Antihistamines – those that control or combat
allergic reactions. This drug usually causes
drowsiness.
 Contraceptives – Drugs that prevent the meeting of
the egg cell and sperm cell or prevent the ovary from
releasing egg cells.
• Decongestants – those that relieve congestion of
the nasal passages.
• Expectorants – those that can ease the expulsion of
the mucus and phlegm from the lungs to the throat.

Campaigns against illegal drugs Blue Heart
Campaign (2009):

-UNODC launched in order to encourage


involvement and inspire action to stop human
trafficking.
-“Blue heart” represents those who are
trafficked while reminding us the cool
heartedness of those buy and sell humans.
-The world’s first national blue heart
campaign was held in Mexico.
UNODC on Drug Trafficking:

- Most illicit drugs are sourced in conflict-ridden regions


in Asia and Latin America, where they undermine
development, damage the environment and also
fund and thus perpetuate insurgency and, in some
places, terrorism.
West Africa:
-is a recent case in point, this region has become
a key transit hub for cocaine smuggled from
Latin America to serve a booming market in
Europe.

-It is also a paradise for organized crime,


offering ideal conditions for trafficking
contraband: a strategic location, porous
borders, weak governance, widespread poverty
and extensive corruption.
Afghanistan:

-is the wellspring of the global opium trade,


accounting for 93 per cent of all opium poppy
cultivation.
-About 80 per cent of the drugs derived from
Afghan opium poppies are smuggled out by
transnational organized criminal groups through:
- the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan;

- the rest flow through Central Asia.


The CHINESE Opium Epidemic:
-Considered as the largest substance abuse
problem the world has ever faced.
-And said to be the root of today’s international
drug control system.
1909 – first international drug conference in
Shanghai creating the International Opium
Commission.
International Opium Commission - gave rise to
the first international legal instrument dealing
with psychoactive substances – “The Hague
Opium Convention of 1912.”
Trend in Drug Treatment:
1. Africa and Oceania – cannabis is the main drug
(Africa – 63%, Australia and New Zealand –
47%)
2. Asia and Europe – opiates is the primary drug
3. North and South America – cocaine dependent
4. Indication of the amphetamine type
stimulants dependents is worsening – (Asia –
18%, North America 18%, Oceania 20%).

BRIEF EXPLANATION HOW A PERSON GETS
DRUNK
Alcohol has its maximum period of
absorption from 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion
and it is absorbed in the stomach and in the
intestines. Technically, if alcohol is only inside
the stomach and intestine and not yet absorbed,
it is practically outside of the body because it
cannot produce its physiologic and neurologic
effects.

standards relating to the interpretation of blood alcohol contents:
• If there is 0.05 percent or less by weight of alcohol in a person’s
blood, it shall be presumed that he is not under the influence of
intoxicating liquor.
• If there is 0.15 percent or more by weight of alcohol in a person’s
blood, it shall be presumed that he is under the influence of
intoxicating liquor.

must not be taken at one time only because
urinary excretion of alcohol varies with time.
Excretion is less during the early stage of
absorption and may be more than that in the blood
during the later stage.
