And antiresistance grip our society antibiotic resistance grip our society, doctors becoming more awafer of the can be aware of the consequences, but a new survey says work still needs to be done to stop unnecessary prescriptions. Here now is dr. Al asaury the medical director of the inova prescription treatment services, you know we talked an resistance before and now were focusing on opioids. In fact the Surgeon General sent a letter to all doctors about overprescriptions. Do you think the results of this new survey will help with opioid overprescription . I think im glad that theres been some attention paid to this area because we definitely have seen significant increase in the Prescription Drug abuse over the last few years which resulted into the current epidemic that were facing heroin addiction. The first thing that we learn in medicine is to do no harm. And obviously these medications have caused significant harm to our society. To families. And our patients. So were crossing the line between helping and harming the patient and think theres so much education that needs to be done about the risk that might be associated and the underestimated addiction potential of the medications that are commonly prescribed. Alternatives then . Youre prescribing them for chronic pain. What are the alternatives to opioid . Definitely. Opioid will not improve pane. Theres so much data out there that prolonged use of the medications may actually lower pain thresholds and increase people experience with pain. And from times and times when we see these patients, they all confirmed that their pain condition is no longer improving. And they feel like that medications and take in more in order to relieve their pain. Which is basically its the opposite of what we are trying to achieve. Chronic pain can be managed with different ways. It has to be a comprehensive approach. It has to be not just dependent on the psychological medication but so much prevention that needs to happen. Doctor, thank you very much for that prospective. Perspective. It can be managed and you need well, we thought it was just story.
