Drug of abuse refers to repeated and large use of drugs with dependence or dependence potential, which will eventually lead to addiction, confusion or drug poisoning. This shows that drug of abuse can cause serious harm to society and production. Common drug of abuse ranges include narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and volatile organic solvents. For drugs with dependence or potential for dependence, in order to regulate drug standards and maintain health and safety, it is necessary to formulate complete and accurate drug standards and strengthen the purchase management of such drugs. The use of drugs of abuse standards can provide reliable and convenient data support for related research fields, and formulate response standards and management systems.
Application fields
Formulating medication standards: Before a drug is approved for marketing, corresponding medication standards must be formulated. For drugs of abuse, the dosage and indication must be accurate. In this regard, drugs of abuse standards can quickly and accurately determine the content of dependent components in the drug. Then determine the dosage and indications of the drug according to the content to ensure that the drug can play its correct and effective role.
Forensic identification: Among the serious consequences of drug of abuse, drug addiction is the most serious, and there are many deaths caused by drug abuse every year. In the process of forensic identification of the cause of death, it is necessary to give the exact type of medicine that caused the death. After the drug samples are extracted, the purchased drugs of abuse standards are often used for comparative analysis, which can quickly and accurately obtain the results and improve the efficiency of the identification process.
Animal husbandry industry: Some manufacturers blindly use or increase the amount of drugs in order to prevent diseases and improve feed conversion efficiency. This will cause a large amount of poisons to accumulate in animal cells, tissues or organs, which will increase the drug dependence and seriously endanger food safety. Whether the drug is abused can be identified based on the residual drug in animal organs to determine whether it still contains a large amount of drugs that have not been absorbed by the body. Using drugs of abuse standards for analysis can accurately analyze the type and content of drugs through the instrument, which in turn promoted strict use of drugs by veterinarians.
