The regulatory authorities in U.S. started taking steps towards combating the issue by encouraging the use of opioid antagonists as prescription opioids for adults and children, given the changing scenario of opioid prescription for medication to misuse and overuse of the drug leading to opioid crisis. For instance, the Commissioner's Opioid Action Plan by U.S. FDA in 2016 addressed the epidemic of opioid abuse, addiction and overdose wherein, the FDA approved two products of naloxone for the community use in adults and pediatrics. On the other hand, the FDA made the regulatory guidelines more stringent pertaining to prescription opioids (agonists), for both medical practitioners and healthcare providers as well as for prescription opioids manufacturers.
According to a study conducted by RTI International, the lifetime rate of nonmedical opioid use in the European Union was close to 14% in 2016, significantly high from the previous year in which it was computed to be around 5%. Moreover, according to The European Drug Situation in 2017 report, opioids overdose resulted in 81% of all deaths due to drug overdose in European countries in 2016.
European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drugs Addiction has warned against the opioid overuse in 2017. Moreover, The European Drug Report 2017 states that five countries (Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and UK) accounted for 76% of the high-risk opioid users in the European Union. Opioid abuse has been a major factor for its higher sales and addiction. Nearly 38% of the treatment requests in European Union included opioid as the principal drugs (The European Drug Report 2017). However, government in respective countries are taking steps to promote opioid antagonists use which are safer compared to the opioid agonist drugs.
