‘Fentanyl prescriptions double in New Zealand despite warnings’

…”The prescription of strong opioids is continuing to rise in New Zealand with the use of fentanyl more than doubling, despite experts around the world warning of the dangers of the drug….
Executive director of the Drug Addiction Practitioners’ Association of Aotearoa-New Zealand Sue Paton said the increase in the rate opioids were being prescribed was a concern, especially when it came to drugs like fentanyl.
While some people could use the drugs for pain management without issue, there would always be a percentage who developed an addiction to it, she said.
Paton said she believed the amount of opioid abuse in New Zealand was probably underestimated.
There were about 5300 people on the opioid substitution programme in New Zealand although she estimated there were about 50,000 Kiwis addicted to the drugs.
The increase in the rate of fentanyl prescription was of particular concern, she said
…While she understood people in pain needed some sort of relief, she did not see the rationale behind the increase in fentanyl use. “Most people could be managed with other equally effective opioids that maybe are less high risk than that,” she said.
