|
The rate of crimes related with the narcotics is recently sharply increasing and the abuse and misuse of drugs cause social problems in Korea. So the investigation and campaign through mass media became actively going on. But there is no special institution caring for the drug addict in Korea. Although the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs authorized 13 national or public and 6 private hospitals as special treating centers in 1987, the lack of specialists and funds makes it almost impossible to perform proper treatments. The major illegally abused narcotics for the hallucination in Korea are methamphetamine (by the name of philophone) and marihuana ; Compared with cocaine and heroin in Western countries. In the moment, hospital phamacists are urgently required to re-examine and research the pharmacology, dependence and side effect of the narcotic drugs. This paper deals with the pharmacolgy, mechanism, applied disease, dependence and withdrawal syndrom of frequently used therapeutic narcotics and shows the examples and frequency of narcotic drugs used in St. Marys Hospital.
