Question by music: is there a prescription drug that contains cocaine?

Best answer:

Answer by Sensual Delights
NOPE!
Only in Hospital pharmacies, and in some LIMITED doctor’s offices that practice specialties in ear,nose & throat are they ever used.
It’s PURE pharmaceutical grade powdered cocaine hydrochloride suspended in either sterile water or sterile alcohol to be used ONLY to dilate pupils,nostrils, and into sinuses for exams and in use during surgeries.
SO, YOU CAN’T GET ANY FORM OF COCAINE in ANY OF THE 3000+ FDA APPROVED MEDS ON THE U.S. MARKET. IT SIMPLY ISN’T AVAILABLE FOR ANY USE OTHER THAN WHAT I LISTED due to all the problems coke has caused with people and it’s addiction.
THE LIQUIDS USED BY THE EAR NOSE & THROAT DR’S ARE CUSTOM MIXED AT A SPECIALITY PHARMACY, OR THEY CAN GET SMALL VIALS OF 4% COCAINE IN AMBER GLASS VIALS DIRECTLY FROM THE medication wholessalers IF the DR owns a “DEA Schedule II Narcotic Licence” which allows them to use the meds in practice; prescribe; or allows them to order them for limited stock for a small operating room/surgery area they may use that’s in like an office building where small & simple surgeries are preformed. “SURGI-CENTER” is how many are named & refered to.

COCAINE IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT IS A “SCHEDULE II NARCOTIC”
WHICH MEANS IT DOES INDEED HAVE SOME LEGITIMATE MEDICAL USE
but carries “A HIGH RISK OF ADDICTION/DEPENDENCY” (as all scheduled 2 drugs have this exact warning: Fentanyl, Morphine,Ritalin,Dilaudid are all examples of C2 drugs) BUT not in any way for non-medical or recreational use

Question by Liz: What exactly are the current barriers to naloxone access?
Law makers introduced a way to prevent drug overdoses in america, which is now the second leading cause of accidental deaths. One of those ways is to remove the barriers of Naloxone (Narcan) access, does anyone know what those barriers are?
In response to mark, I’m actually on the medication, well on suboxone which has naloxone in it. So do you think that’s the one and only barrier to getting it? And I know that you have to go through a program to get it in the first place, in Maine there’s a waiting list. Maybe this means making it more available and not needing a specialized doctor to prescribe it?

Best answer:

Answer by Mark R
One is that it can only be prescribed by a liscensed physician with a specialty in drug addiction treatment. “narcan” is what is given to stop an overdose of opiates since it it is a competitive inhibitor of opiate receptors.
