All Rx drugs can be harmful if you don't need to take them for a medical condition!. Even if you do have a medical condition for which one is prescribed, they can still cause much harm with side effects, but the remedy most of the time is better than the alternative of not taking the drug!. Some Rx drugs are deadly poisons used in lower doses to cure a disease and are restricted for that reason!. Others are highly addictive and are restricted because they could make someone an addict if they abused them!. I suggest that if you want more information, go to a local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist about it!. When he/she has time, I'm sure that he/she would gladly help out and the pharmacist would be the expert to ask about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

all of them can be lethal if used incorrectly!. that's why they are prescription!. Drugs are usually processed through the liver and if drugs are taken incorrectly liver function can be compromised!. If you're speaking of pain killers, morphin and fentanyl are very dangerous as abuse of them can depress the respiration center!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ALL of them!. If nothing else, many can cause dependencies!. This is why they are regulated by the FDA!. They can ALL be dangerous, either by themselves, or mixed with other drugs, including ubiquitous drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine, even aspirin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most of them, but here's one:

Vicodin - normal dose is one or two tabs every 4 hours!. OD dose: ~10 tabsWww@Answer-Health@Com
