No doubt that drug addiction negatively affects your brain and body. Once you enter this world, you can’t resist its bad attraction. Also, it isn’t about just cocaine or heroin or hasheesh. 

Here is Dr. Baher El Saeed, the famous pharmacist on Facebook, talking about the misuse of some pharmaceuticals for addiction purposes during his weekly interview with InBox TV program aired on Sada El Balad 2 channel.

Saeed mentioned three types of drugs which could lead to addiction such as opioid (Narcotic) pain medications, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. 

The pharmacist warned against the dangers of each type of them, saying narcotic medications obstruct the transmission of pain signals to the brain and cause confusion, nausea, and drowsiness.
