Recent events concerning judicial Subutex which saw the arrest of a dozen dealers, pharmacists, physicians drug trafficking recall the absurdity of such " drug treatment "called" substitution ", which is only one way to disguise the social problem it represents.
Fortunately among addiction specialists, more and more voices to denounce the policy which ultimately aims to replace an illegal drug by a legal drug in profits lab that built it. We are now faced with a totally clear worrying substance supposed to be a substitute for heroin to avoid dangers (besides the fact that its effectiveness as such is only relative) is widely prescribed and without control individuals who have never had a problem with this drug .
Expert Says, recently, a report stated that the low price of heroin made his capacity near zero, thereby many young people fall back on Subutex for be guaranteed a minimum of effects. Often, without knowing opiates nor be dependent. If one is major, is the doctor ; if you are a minor, the black market that currently exploding at our expense. Today Subutex is one of 20 "drug" among the most widely prescribed in France (!). If we compare this figure with the figures of drug abuse, it would mean that there is in France hundreds of thousands of heroin addicts. Yet the statistics are formal : There are only 100 000 people who answered the strict definition of opioid dependence. Who consumes thousands of boxes Subutex sold every day in our pharmacies? Why nobody cares?
But that's not all, one last thing to know ... The Subutex addictive. Thus, thousands of doctors in prescribing this drug to thousands of legal persons which in any case are not addicts , make them addicted to a drug substance. And causes a length much greater than that associated with heroin. Fabulous success of the policy against drug abuse in our country, in fact (!)
Here is an article published on the website of the Centre Idro , one of the few voices who dare denounce this state of fact:
Silence is no longer possible, whatever the alleged doctors specializing in the care of addicts, who played the virgin weeping when they heard about the indictment of a colleagues for their abuse of prescription Subutex, a drug substitute for heroin.
In fact, what is questioned, or rather returned to the question of reality is the actual effectiveness, the treatment plan, the buprenorphine (Subutex , Schering-Plough Laboratories ), which may be prescribed by doctors in town. Indeed, Subutex, analgesic, agonist part of morphine, is in the form of soluble tablets unfortunately more than 5O per cent of drug users who do shall prescribe intravenous! This practice of "shot" at Subutex is the origin of abscesses at injection sites, sometimes leading to amputation of fingers or hand.
Thus, contrary to what we want to believe everyone who has interest to get this derivative of morphine for the miracle pill can resolve any heroin, Subutex can become a public danger for drug users ... This is why, despite the "tests" and "epidemiological investigations "generally positive", all ironically sponsored by Schering-Plough Laboratory , which is sort of judge and party, it seemed urgent to denounce Subutex on behalf of a daily practice of home young drug addicts, a practice dating back more than fifteen years, especially on behalf of unbiased observations born of stubborn desire to deny the fact that the protest without care for addicts gradually fell into disuse "in an economy that is rapidly transforming science into a source of profits "exactly as written by Daniel S. Greenberg in the famous Washington Post .
Make no mistake, and especially do not mistake the young dependent users who come to seek help, the behavior of scientists in their research funded by the pharmaceutical industry is breathtaking. So the very serious JAMA (Journal of The American Medical Association), publishing a sociological study about the attitudes of researchers sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry, has not hesitated to assert the results show that the sponsorship analysis Economic medicines by pharmaceutical companies' results in a lower likelihood of adverse outcomes being reported. " He even adds a clarification: "5 per cent, against 38 percent for non-sponsored studies ..." It is so crowded easily, impartiality Schering-Plough over Subutex poor! When Health is so "under the thumb" of the economy, the risk seems great. So the duty of any addiction counselor who respects himself, is to denounce such manipulation. This is the very meaning of this article.
"By Apollo Asclipios , Hygeia and Panacea" are the first words of the famous oath of Hippocrates that any physician and pharmacist should know by heart and meditate especially TODAY 'hui before a wafer Subutex, the caduceus in his hand! Asclipios , god of medicine, before him the caduceus, the rod surrounded by serpents, reptiles living and / or death which may in turn bring death and life, the venom could become a vaccine or remaining deadly poison, the poison may become a healer or potion of hemlock Socrates .
This is the challenge of this millennium. He is happily part of citizens' rights not to denounce violent physician practices of dealers in white coats that are sometimes the general city struggling with the requirements of buprénorpine ... With Subutex , these rights are duties undeniably .
