Cyproheptadine

iHart:
All those appetite drugs containing ceproheptadine, some take it for excitement too even when it renders them mentally confused.

martineverest:
they are the cause of astonishing rose of drug abuse. ..Just imagine the latest one 'codeine diet'

They are the symptom not the problem at most they slightly increased an already large problem

givan:
The Federal government should stop being reactionary to a scripted documentary by the BBC and pay more attention to unemployment and the mental health of young adults.

You can hardly blame the BBC - in the UK Codeine is available without a prescription from any Supermarket.

No it’s not .

Oritzy:
Tramadol!
That drug is a poison and a slow killer
Both Codeine and tramadol ain't good but Codeine is preferable

The rate at which Nigerian youths consume these drugs I wonder if some will not be using walking stick at age 40.

For hostel where I lived, tramadol and lacacera na everyday thing just to satisfy dem girls. Wahala dey for future...

Outright ban of those drugs is not the solution. How many would you ban! Besides, those drugs have a lot of therapeutic benefits and when properly used they treat many ailments.

Why is it that those in government don't reason at all. These drugs are being sold in other countries, even our neighboring countries like Ghana. The question is, what are those countries doing differently?? The answer is REGULATION. They don't allow just anybody to open shops in whatever guise and start selling drugs. Drugs are sold by trained pharmacists who are licensed for that purpose and ethical drugs like codeine and co are dispensed only on a physician's prescription. But here in Nigeria, anybody would just open shops and start selling. Train and license pharmacists so that when they default you can easily seize their licenses and prosecute them. A non-pharmacist has only money to lose when you close down his shop, but a pharmacist would lose his money, his license and his professional reputation. But our government would continue chasing shadows instead of doing the right thing.

I think these are some of the issues the new drug distribution guideline is set to provide solutions to, and that is if government would not allow political influences to defeat the purpose.
States should be made to establish drug distribution centers to be manned by competent pharmacists. Some of these things are in the new drug distribution guidelines. They said the new guideline would be effective from January 2019. Let's just hope they would implement it and not politicise it. Let's just hope!!!

THANK COKE+TOM-TOM IS NOT AN ABUSE OF ANY FORM....

Drugs mess with your productivity anyone on drugs finds it hard to do the basics

As an artist I swore to my soul I’d never compromise my God given talents and waste in on man made chemicals

This is what i have been saying since. Our government is so useless, and the people who are foolishly supporting the ban.

How many LEGAL drugs do you want to ban? Instead of them to do the right thing, they decided to take the lazy way out...

Now that they have banned codiene, what if someone needs cough medicine that has codeine to be treated?

PENTAZOCINE MY FRIEND WAS ADDICTED TO PENTA AND SHE IS NO MORE TODAY

This are signs of a society heading towards self destruction speedily helped by the hopelessness and helplessness in the land. There is so much depression in this country that a lot of youths have turned to hard drugs to ease their pain. The government that is supposed to regulate these drugs have failed and now they are using the sledge hammer to kill a fly.
Outright ban is not the solution as some of these drugs are very useful when applied in small dosages. What we have is a reactionary government not a proactive one.
The musicians are not helping matters in the way they promote these drugs to our highly impressionable youths.

If una BAN all these our Drugs finish...how we wan cope with dis Nigeria? Make una leave our Hapinex alone and fix una country o. Thank you.

Have seen aboki sniffing evo-stick gum/adhesive to become high

I think the root cause of drugs abuse have to be arrest before band products. the company that produce some of this product also recruit and some are the bread winner of their family. the root cause of drug abuse are unemployment both for graduate and non graduate. our educational system is faulty. HND are considered as second citizens not all can afford 4 or 5 years in school without break it. technical school this is like secondary school unlike before. the foundation of the country is faulty. etc

Forget trams, try sansu oil and thank me later

gurunlocker:
That's what I tell my friends, all this rubbish songs our so called artists release also contribute to the promotion of this drug abuse....


Some people don't even know what the drug is all about, but since they listen to a song mentioning those drugs, they will make sure they try it.

This is true, as a teenager my urge to try out a spliff, doubled when i listened to eriggas music!

ItzBIM:



No it’s not .

It is. Pharmacist's discretion, but no prescription.

another info for science students.

Nice piece.. Another drug that people are abusing especially athletes n among competitors of school sporting events yet hasn't come to the public notice is furosemide (laxis), an osmotic diuretic...This drug triggers excessive urination in order to lose weight making them lighter so as to meet the weight requirement for a specific sport event...Abusers of such drug usually develop hypovolemic shock owing to excessive dehydration n their eventual death.

If I may ask, does taking alcohol fit into drug abuse and why?

You are very right. This massive drug addicts case can be traced largely to unemployment which has its root to bad government.

Youths will try to sniff virtually all the household products to see whichever gets them high. You are not going to ban everything... So, just make jobs available and this addiction will reduce.

Are you going to ban the sale of petrol or other products that contained volatile fumes e.g glue, aerosols, chrome-based paint, paint thinner, cleaning fluids, lighter fluids etc
