Abstract

Many drugs that have been prescribed by doctors are not taken as directed. Altered dose, frequency and route of administration may lead to misuse of drugs that have been prescribed in good faith. Awareness of the abuse potential of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs is the first point of intervention, followed by monitoring of each doctor's practice.
