Hey #TwitterRx our pharm fam keeps being referred to as “just” pharmacists. So, let’s talk about what that REALLY means. We’ll go first: Our faculty have trained over 2,600 people on proper Naloxone administration. You know who’s combatting opioid overdoses? #JustAPharmacist

Important new study in @AnnalsofEM by @ScottWeinerMD, @JSchuurMD and @dlbernson

After discharge following nonfatal overdose, 5.5% die within one year

Of those, 1 in 20 dies WITHIN 48 HOURS

As @LarochelleMarc's work shows, buprenorphine reduces all-cause mortality in this setting by 37%

It literally helps these people not die

(3) They will use regardless, opposing needle exchanges or inaction by not at least brining it to a vote is negligence in the face of a public health crisis. Kentucky is home to several counties at the highest risk or an HIV outbreak...

[Ethan Jackson @ethan_jacksonKY]

(2) expressed by the naysayers in this article is dangerous and absolutely nonsensical. Individuals struggling with substance use disorder do not, upon awaking every morning decide they are going to use because there are clean or dirty needles...

@andrewkolodny @smonnat @LeoBeletsky @MarkARKleiman @DanCiccarone @abgutman In addition, to argue that increased Rx’s alone led to the current epidemic is greatly under-simplifying the problem.

[Ethan Jackson @ethan_jacksonKY]

@andrewkolodny @smonnat @LeoBeletsky @MarkARKleiman @DanCiccarone @abgutman Inclusion of cigarettes in rations during WWII, plus aggressive advertising post war led to massive increase in use, not necessarily that nicotine is highly addictive (obviously led to continued use). Comparing the two epidemics seems to be rather fruitless.

A realistic solution for reaching the millions of Americans with opioid use disorder is to mobilize the primary care physician workforce to offer office-based addiction treatment with buprenorphine. But stigma and myths inhibit acceptance of this approach. #OpioidEpidemic

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

Our new study in @JAMANetworkOpen led by @Tara_Gomes quantifies the burden of opioid-related mortality in the U.S. over time.

In 2016:
- 1.7 million years of life lost
- 20% of deaths among those aged 25-34 involved an opioid
