Opioids
Every day, more than 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.
​
Here the United States we have 5% of the world’s population and we use over 80% of the world’s opioids. Drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50, who are now more likely to die from a drug overdose than from car accidents or firearms.
​
In 2015, nearly 100 million Americans were prescribed painkillers by their doctors. We are faced with a huge problem in the United States to manage acute and chronic pain and opioid painkillers are creating more problems. They estimate there are over 90 million Americans with chronic pain and there are few effective healthy alternatives to address pain.

NSAIDs
NSAIDs are Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. These include Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), Naproxen Sodium (Aleve), and Ketoprofen (Orudis KT) NSAIDs prevent the body from manufacturing prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances produced naturally by the body that acts as mediators for a variety of bodily functions including protecting the stomach lining and regulating blood pressure. They also help mediate pain and inflammation in the body and are used to address acute and chronic pain symptoms.
These drugs were intended only for short-term use for pain management, however they have serious side effects to increase the risk of heart attacks, stroke, stomach bleeds and injury to the kidneys with long-term use.
