	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Prescription
		Prescription has its origin in enactments of the civil law which have been confirmed by the canon law and which so far as the principle underlying them is concerned are universally acknowledged to be perfectly valid in conscience.
		Prescription cannot legitimize theft or detention of property known to be that of another.
		The canon law allows prescription of movables on proof of possession for three years with at least a supposed title; without other title than that they have been held a long time, possession for thirty years is required.

	PA-04-110: PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE
		Researchers are encouraged to study the relationship between the prescription medication, the indication for which the medication was prescribed (e.g., pain, sleep disorder, anxiety disorder, obesity), and the environmental and individual factors contributing to abuse.
		To reduce prescription drug abuse, research is needed on prevention approaches, service delivery, and behavioral and pharmaco- therapies targeted to particular populations (e.g., the elderly, women, adolescents, health professionals, and those with comorbid substance abuse and mental health disorders and/or medical disorders).
		Older adults may be more vulnerable to prescription drug abuse because of age- related physiological changes that may influence the metabolism and response to prescription drugs, greater likelihood of having undiagnosed psychiatric and medical comorbidities, and difficulties in compliance with complex multiple drug regimens that may increase the likelihood of drug interactions.

	InfoFacts - Prescription Pain and Other Medications
		Prescription medications such as pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives are very useful treatment tools, but sometimes people do not take them as directed and may become addicted.
		Treatment of addiction to prescription stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, is based on behavioral therapies proven effective for treating cocaine or methamphetamine addiction.
		Depending on the patient’s situation, the first step in treating prescription stimulant addiction may be to slowly decrease the drug’s dose and attempt to treat withdrawal symptoms.

	Prescription Drug Costs and Coverage, Public Opinion, Research & Recent Legislation - Kaiser Family Foundation
		While prescriptions are a relatively small share of overall health spending (11%), they are a key driver of health spending trends, growing almost twice as fast all other health services in recent years.
		Public attention has focused on prescription drugs and on the pharmaceutical industry because of the very rapid growth of drug costs and because a significant portion of the population lacks insurance to cover the costs of the drugs they need.

	How to Provide Prescription Drug Coverage Under Medicare
		The task before Congress, however, is not so much whether to provide prescription drug coverage to Medicare beneficiaries, but how to do it considering the enormous potential cost of the benefit and the poor track record of previous attempts to provide such coverage.
		Although it is true that spending on prescription drugs consumes a larger share of the health care pie, this trend is due in large part to the huge development costs of pharmaceuticals as well as the success and cost-effectiveness of these drugs in treating patients.
		If Medicare were to become the sole or dominant buyer of prescription drugs, it would undermine the patent concept and have the same effect as price controls--discouraging the level of investment in research that is necessary to develop new drugs.

	Medications: Using Them Safely
		Because the dosages of prescription and OTC medicines depend on your child's height and weight, make sure the doctor and pharmacist have updated information about your child's size.
		Many prescription and medicine bottles look the same, so make sure your child's name is on the label and it's the medicine that the doctor recommended or prescribed.\ Be especially careful when reaching into the medicine cabinet in the middle of the night - it's easy to grab the wrong bottle when you're sleepy.
		Another common instruction on prescription medicines is "take on an empty stomach," in which case your child should take the medicine 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal because food may prevent the medicine from working properly or may delay or reduce its absorption.

	Prescription Drug Abuse \| Abuse of Medicine \| Teen Drug Abuse
		A: One easy way to prevent is to keep all prescription medication hidden: Parents and family members whose homes teens visit should keep prescription medications out of teens reach, rather than in the medicine cabinet.

		Prescription medications, as all drugs, can cause dangerous interactions with other drugs or chemicals in the body.

	Prescription Drug emergency controls & long-distance sales-2006
		However, no individual in the United States may purchase such prescription drugs or vaccines "over-the-counter." Doctors and other authorized prescribers are directed by laws and medical ethics guidelines to prescribe such medicines only 1) when they are medically necessary and 2) only in the quantity required for individual treatment.
		Several states considered legislation mandating or allowing these somewhat larger purchases as a precaution, but no mandatory laws were enacted, in part because of industry concerns that supplies and shelves would be emptied strictly by the "fear" factor, and that those in need might be unable to get their medicines.
		In addition to the foregoing requirements for health care providers, a pharmacist shall report any unusual or increased prescription rates, unusual types of prescriptions, or unusual trends in pharmacy visits that may be potential causes of a public health emergency.

	The New Yorker : critics : atlarge
		The team for the project was composed of lawyers, marketers, and scientists, and its focus was a prescription drug known as Prilosec, a heartburn medication that, in one five-year stretch of its extraordinary history, earned AstraZeneca twenty-six billion dollars.
		And the hundred and twenty dollars a month that AstraZeneca charges isn’t to recoup the costs of risky research and development; the costs were for a series of clinical trials that told us nothing we needed to know, and a half-billion-dollar marketing campaign selling the solution to a problem we’d already solved.
		Of course, it is also the case that Nexium is a prescription drug: every person who takes Nexium was given the drug with the approval of a doctor—and doctors are professionals who ought to know that there are many cheaper ways to treat heartburn.
