An Increase in Babies Born with Painkiller Addiction
The Journal of American Medical Association released a report lately stating that in 2009 3.4 out of every 1,000 babies born suffered from withdrawals from a prescription painkiller. This number of incidences of mothers using opiates during pregnancy from 2000-2009 has increased five fold. Statistics reveal that every hour, a baby is born with an addiction.
Potent Injectable Painkiller Recalled by Manufacturer
The drug company, Hospira, recalled a single lot of the injectable form of hydromorphone hydrochloride because they received two complaints that the syringes contained more than the 1-milliliter dose. The recalled products have the lot number 07547LL and have an expiration date of July 1, 2013. This batch of painkillers was delivered to distributors in 28 states. If you have this particular drug in your possession the FDA suggests in an online posting that you stop using it immediately and call 1-888-912-7093 , which will connect you to Stericycle Inc., the medical waste disposal firm in Lake Forest. Hospira stated that supplies can be replenished from other lots which have not posed risk or concern.
