Definition: A wide variety of medicaments and folk remedies may be involved, but the particularly important groups are: (a) psychotropic drugs that do not produce dependence, such as antidepressants, (b) laxatives, and (c) analgesics that may be purchased without medical prescription, such as aspirin and paracetamol. Persistent use of these substances often involves unnecessary contacts with medical professionals or supporting staff, and is sometimes accompanied by harmful physical effects of the substances. Attempts to dissuade or forbid the use of the substance are often met with resistance; for laxatives and analgesics this may be in ...[+++] spite of warnings about (or even the development of) physical harm such as renal dysfunction or electrolyte disturbances. Although it is usually clear that the patient has a strong motivation to take the substance, dependence or withdrawal symptoms do not develop as in the case of the psychoactive substances specified in F10-F19. | Abuse of:antacids | herbal or folk remedies | steroids or hormones | vitamins | Laxative habit

The term “harm reduction” refers more specifically to strategies aimed at reducing the adverse effects of drug use on health, economic status and the social environment for users and those around them.[42] In addition to needle exchange, harm reduction strategies for drug users include such measures as prescription methadone for heroin addicts, medically supervised prescription heroin programs and “safe injection rooms”, or clinics where no prescription is required.

Further, the estimated number of non-medical prescription opioid users, heroin users or both among the street-drug-using population was indicated to be about 72,000, with more individuals using non-medical prescription opioids than heroin in 2003.

This is well illustrated by the fact that heroin and cocaine still have recognized (though limited) medical uses, for which they are legally available on medical prescription, whereas their non-medical use is strictly forbidden.

On the issue of displacement in the U.S., using the combined data from the 2002, 2004, 2008 to 2010 national survey on drug use and health, a recent study has shown that 77% of those reporting both non-medical prescription pain relievers and heroin use in the past year were found to have initiated non-medical use of pain relievers prior to initiating heroin use.
