Prescription meds is another term for prescription medications, which are pharmaceutical drugs that must be prescribed by a licensed medical professional, typically a medical doctor.
Prescription meds are chemical compounds used to treat and prevent medical conditions, as well as promote better health. Pharmaceutical drugs that must be prescribed by a doctor are typically used for more serious conditions than everyday pain, colds, or other mild ailments. This is because prescription meds have a greater effect on the body than over-the-counter drugs.
In the United States, prescription meds must be tested and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA reviews each prescription med to ensure that medications on the market are safe for their directed use. Additionally, the International Narcotics Control Board of the United Nations has listed several drugs that are prohibited for sale and consumption.
Prescription meds are controlled largely because of their tendency for abuse. Like other drugs, many prescription meds can have dangerous effects on the body when used incorrectly, or by those for whom the meds are not prescribed. Prescription painkillers, anti-anxiety medications, sleep aids and muscle relaxers are all commonly abused prescription meds, primarily due to their physical affect on the body, as well as their physically addictive properties.
When prescribed, patients are provided with directions for use in addition to warnings and side effects of prescription meds. These directions let the patient know the correct use of the drug for therapy, and also to prevent physical dependency. Prescription meds must also include a list of possible side effects, risks, and interactions with other medications and substances. Adhering to instructions and warnings will help reduce risk of physical, psychological or emotional harm from the medication.
Prescription meds are manufactured by several companies, including Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Meyers and Abbott Laboratories.
