The #OpioidCrisis has been costing the United States billions of dollars in taxes since the year 2000. A study from Penn State shows that the epidemic has costed the government approximately $37.8 billion, solely in lost taxes. bit.ly/2IRIfAU

#CommunityPharmacists all over America are on the front lines of the current #opioidepidemic. @BeyondTheFill aims to provide these #pharmacists with the resources they need to help their #patients combat this crisis.
New York, Kentucky, Massachussetts, and Ohio are some of the states that have been hit the hardest by the #opioidcrisis. The @NIH has awarded researchers in those states with $350 million, so they can test ways to reduce accidental #opioid overdoses. nyti.ms/2UTUynC

Chris Antypas informed us of the importance of #Naloxone, a type of medication that quickly reverses opioid overdose. To all the #CommunityPharmacists out there, make sure that your #patients are informed about how to prevent any tragedies involving opioids.

#DYK: Drug overdoses have become a leading cause of death in America. Over 70,000 drug overdoses occurred in 2017, with over half of those involving strictly #opioids. Join our cause and help us fight this #OpioidEpidemic that continues to take lives every day.

Knowing the signs of an #OpioidOverdose is crucial to potentially saving a life. Some signs may include loss of consciousness, slow breathing, and small pupils. For more information, check out this link from @CDCgov: bit.ly/2KjbBVW
Some people do not understand the potential dangers that come with prescription #opioids, which is why it is so important for #pharmacists to make sure their patients are well-informed.

Pharmacists play an amazing role in healthcare today. Multiple studies have shown the impact they play in lowering healthcare costs! We need to fix DIR's and allow pharmacists to get paid for their service! @BeyondTheFill
