Drug – is a chemical substance used as
medicine or in the making of medicines,
which affects the body and mind and
has potential for abuse.

There are also two forms of drugs:

natural and synthetic/artificial.

 PHARMACOKINETICS

Pharmacokinetics is the branch of

pharmacology that describes how drugs
move around the body. It comprises the
processes of absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion.
Basic Terms:

1. Pharmacodynamics: The study of

biochemical and physiologic mechanism of
action of drugs.

2. Pharmacotherapeutics: The study of drug

use for the diagnosis, prevention and
treatment of disease.
3. Pharmacogenetics: The study of the
genetic factors as determinants of drug
response.

4. Toxicology: The study of poisonous

effects of drugs and other chemical
substances.

5. Pharmacognosy: The study of drugs

derived from animal or plant source.

6. Posology: The study of drug dosing.

 SEVEN CATEGORIES OF DRUGS

1. Herbal drugs

These are plant substances that have

drug effects and whose use is not
generally regulated by law.
2. Over-the-Counter Drugs

These are commercially-produced drugs

that may be purchased legally without
prescription.
3. Prescription Drugs

These are commercially-produced drugs

that can be legally sold or dispensed
only by a physician or on a physician’s
orders.
4. Unrecognized Drugs

These are commercial products that

have psychoactive drug effects but are
not usually considered drugs.
5. Illicit Drugs

These are drugs whose sale, purchase

or use is generally prohibited by law.

6. Tobacco

This is not generally considered a drug

and can thus be classed as an
unrecognized drug.
7. Alcohol

Alcohol in forms such as beer, wine and

distilled liquors is one of the most
widely-used drugs in the world. It is
regarded by many experts as the most
commonly-abused drugs/king of all
drugs.
 MEDICAL USE OF DRUGS

1. Analgesics- are drugs that relieve

pain. However, they may produce the
opposite effects on somebody who
suffers from peptic ulcer or gastric
irritation.
2. Antibiotics- are drugs that combat or
control infectious organisms. Ingesting
the same antibiotics for a long time can
result in allergic reactions and cause
resistance of the drugs.
3. Antipyretics- those that can lower
body temperature or fever due to
infection.
4. Antihistamines- those that control or
combat allergic reactions. People who
on antihistamine therapy must not
operate or drive vehicles since these
drugs can cause drowsiness.
5. Contraceptives- drugs that prevent
the meeting of the egg cell and sperm
cell or prevent the ovary from releasing
egg cells. Pregnant women must not
take birth control pills to avoid
congenital abnormalities. This advice
also applies to women suffering from
heart disease, varicose veins, breast
limps, goiter and anemia. The
effectiveness of oral contraceptives may
be reduced when taken with antibiotic.
6. Decongestants- those that relieve
congestion of the nasal passages.
Prolonged used of these decongestants
might include nasal congestion upon
withdrawal.
7. Expectorants- those that can ease
the expulsion of mucus and phlegm
from the lungs and the throat. They are
not drugs of choice for the newborn that
does not know to cough the phlegm out.
8. Laxatives- those that stimulate
defecation and encourage bowel
movement. They shall not be given to
pregnant women and those suffering
from intestinal obstruction. Constant use
might make the intestines sluggish.
9. Sedatives and Tranquilizers- are
those that can calm and quiet the
nerves and relieve anxiety without
causing depression and clouding of the
mind.
10. Vitamins- those substances
necessary for normal growth and
development and proper functioning of
the body. Excessive dosage of vitamins
A and D can lead to nausea, diarrhea,
and weight loss, calcification, and heart
and kidney troubles. Too much vitamin
A might result in symptoms of a disease
of the liver.
 THE DANGEROUS DRUGS

According to Effects

1. Depressants – those that depress the

CNS
2. Stimulants – those that stimulate the
CNS
3. Hallucinogens – those that distort
perception, mind; alter moods
 The Depressants (Downers)

These are group of drugs, which

suppress vital body functions especially
those of the brain or central nervous
system with the resulting impairment of
judgment, hearing, speech and
muscular coordination.
 Narcotics - are drugs, which relieve
pain and produce profound sleep or
stupor.

 Opium – it slows down the messages

traveling between your brain and
body. Derived from a poppy plant –
Papaver somniferum.
 Morphine - most commonly used and
best used opiate. Effective as a
painkiller six times potent than opium,
with a high dependence – producing
potential, a.k.a soldier’s disease.
 Heroin – is three to five times more
powerful than morphine from which it
is derived and the most addicting
opium derivative.

 Codeine – a derivative of morphine,

commonly available in cough
preparations.
 Paregoric – a tincture of opium in
combination with camphor. Commonly
used as a household remedy for
diarrhea and abdominal pain.
 Demerol and Methadone –Demerol
is widely used as a painkiller in
childbirth while methadone is the drug
of choice in the withdrawal treatment
of heroin dependents since it relieves
the physical craving for heroin.
 Barbiturates – are drugs used for
inducing sleep in persons plagued
with anxiety, mental stress, and
insomnia. They are also of value in
the treatment of epilepsy and
hypertension.
 Seconal – The psychoactive effects
of Seconal are like those of alcohol.
Individuals taking Seconal may feel
less inhibited, more talkative and
relaxed. Commonly used among
hospitality girls.
 Tranquilizers – are drugs that calm
and relax and diminish anxiety. They
are used in the treatment of nervous
states and some mental disorders
without producing sleep.
 Volatile Solvents – gaseous
substances popularly known to
abusers as ―gas‖, ―teardrops‖.

 Alcohol – the king of all drugs with

potential for abuse. Most widely used,
socially accepted and most
extensively legalized drug throughout
the world.
 The Stimulants (Uppers)

They produce effects opposite to that

of depressants. Instead of bringing
about relaxation and sleep, they
produce increased mental alertness,
wakefulness, reduce hunger, and
provide a feeling of well-being.
 Amphetamines – used medically for
weight reducing in obesity, relief of
mild depression and treatment.

 Cocaine – taken orally, injected or

sniffed as to achieve euphoria or an
intense feeling of ―highness‖.

 Caffeine – it is present in coffee, tea,

chocolate, cola drinks, and some
wake-up pills.
 Shabu/ “poor man’s cocaine” –
chemically known as
methamphetamine. It is a central
nervous system stimulant and
sometimes called ―upper‖ or ―speed‖.

 Nicotine – an active component in

tobacco, which acts as a powerful
stimulant of the central nervous
system. A drop of pure nicotine can
easily kill a person.
 The Hallucinogens (Psychedelic)

Consists of a variety of mind-altering

drugs, which distort reality, thinking and
perceptions of time, sound, space and
sensation.
 Marijuana – It is the most commonly
abused hallucinogen in the
Philippines because it can be grown
extensively in the country.
 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) –
This drug is the most powerful of the
psychedelics obtained from ergot, a fungus
that attacks rye kernels. LSD is 1, 000
times more powerful than marijuana.
 Peyote – Peyote is derived from the
surface part of a small cactus.
 Mescaline – It is the alkaloid
hallucinogen extracted from the
peyote cactus and can also be
synthesized in the laboratory.
 STP- 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-
methylamphetamine (DOM; known on
the street as STP, standing for
"Serenity, Tranquility and Peace". It
is a chemical derivative of mescaline
claimed to produce more violent and
longer effects than mescaline dose.
 Psilocybin – This hallucinogenic
alkaloid from small Mexican
mushrooms are used by Mexican
Indians today.
 Morning Glory Seeds – The black
and brown seeds of the wild tropical
morning glory that are used to
produce hallucinations. They are sold
under the names of ―heavenly blues‖,
―flying dancers’, and ―pearly gates‖.
 DRUG DOSES

1. Minimal dose – amount needed to

treat or heal, that is, the smallest
amount of a drug that will produce a
therapeutic effect.

2. Maximal dose – largest amount of a

drug that will produce a desired
therapeutic effect, without any
accompanying symptoms of toxicity.
3. Toxic dose – amount of drug that
produces untoward effects or symptoms
of poisoning.

4. Abusive dose– amount needed to

produce the side effects and action
desired by an individual who improperly
uses it.

5. Lethal dose – amount of drug that

will cause death.
HOW DRUGS ARE ADMINISTERED?

 Oral – this is the safest, most

convenient and economical route
whenever possible.

 Injection – this form of drug

administration offers a faster
response than the oral method.
a. Subcutaneous (SC)- drug is
administered by injecting the drug just
below the surface of the skin; this is
sometimes called skin popping.

b. Intramuscular (IM)- administration

involves the injection of a drug into a
large muscle mass that has a good
blood supply.
c. Intravenous (IV)- the most efficient
means of administration which
involves depositing drug directly into
the bloodstream, this is also the most
rapid method of drug administration.
 Inhalation– this route makes use of
gaseous and volatile drugs, which are
inhaled and absorbed rapidly through
the mucous of the respiratory tract.

 Snorting- inhalation of the drugs not

in gaseous form through the nose.
 Topical – this refers to the application
of drugs directly to a body site such
as the skin and the mucous
membrane.

 Iontophoresis – the introduction of

drugs into the deeper layers of the
skin by the use of special type of
electric current for local effect.
 Buccal- the drug is administered by
placing them in the buccal cavity just
under the lips and the active
ingredients of the drug will be
absorbed into the bloodstream
through the soft tissues lining of the
mouth.
 Suppositories - the drug is
administered through the vagina or
rectum in suppository form and the
drug will also be absorbed into the
bloodstream.
Drug Abuse- The term drug abuse
most often refers to the use of a drug
with such frequency that it causes
physical or mental harm to the user or
impairs social functioning.
 Group Classifications of
Drug Abusers

1. Situational Users – those who use

drugs to keep them awake or for
additional energy to perform an
important work.

2. Spree Users – school age users who

take drugs for ―kicks’, an adventurous
daring experience, or as a means of fun.
3. Hard Core Addicts – those whose
activities revolve almost entirely around
the drug experience and securing
supplies.

4. Hippies – those who are addicted to

drugs believing that drug is an integral
part of life.
IDENTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION
OF DANGEROUS DRUGS

1. Screening test/preliminary test –

this is employed to reduce the family or
group to a small and manageable
number. Screening test includes the
series of color test producing
characteristics of colors for each family
group of drugs.
2. Confirmatory test – it is the method
employed to confirm the result of the
screening test. It involves the application
of an analytical procedure to identify the
presence of specific drugs.

over a long period, the body changes to
adapt to the toxin, developing a
tolerance to the substance.
B. Tissue Dependence- Tissues and
the organs come to depend on the drug
to stay functional.

C. Psychological Dependence- Drugs

cause an altered state of consciousness
and distort perceptions pleasurable to
the user.
D. Withdrawal- is defined as the
―body’s attempt to rebalance itself after
cessation of prolonged use of a
psychoactive drug.‖ Many compulsive
users continue use due to the fear of
withdrawal.

E. Desired Effects vs. Side Effects

Desired Effects- People use drugs to get
high, for curiosity, self-medication,
confidence, energy, psychological pain
relief, anxiety control, peer pressure,
etc.

Side Effects- Drugs also trigger mild,

moderate, dangerous, and sometimes
fatal side effects.
F. Polydrug Abuse- If an addict can’t
get the desired effect from one drug,
he/she will try almost any other
substance, behavior, or combination of
both to attain the change of mood and
physical condition he/she seeks.

 POPULAR PLANTS
AS SOURCE OF
DANGEROUS DRUGS
 The Marijuana Plant

-a Spanish-Mexican term used to refer to

the Indian hemp plant.
- grows in tropical
region and attains an
approximate height of
15 to 20 feet.
-scientifically named
as Cannabis Sativa L.
 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

-is the psychoactive substance that

produces the ―high‖ associated with
smoking marijuana and can also lead to
central nervous system depression.
 The Opium Poppy Plant

-scientifically known as Papaver Somniferum.

-the word Papaver is a Greek term which means
poppy while the word Somniferum is a Latin
term which means dream/induced sleep.
-can grow from 3 to 6 feet in height originally in
Mesopotamia.
-Sumerians called it ―Hul
Gil‖ which means, ―plant
of joy‖ due to its joyful
effect when administered.
 The Coca Bush Plant

-scientifically known
as Erythroxylum Coca
common in South
America.
-Cocaine- the most
powerful natural
stimulant known as
cocaine hydrochloride.
 The Ephedra Plant

-Known to the Chinese as ―Ma Huang‖

-It is an essential chemical precursor in the
production of Methamphetamine or
Amphetamine drugs.
-Methamphetamine
Hydrochloride commonly
known as ―shabu‖ is a
product derived from this
plant through chemical
processes.
 History of Drug Abuse

-Historians credited that marijuana

(Cannabis Sativa) is the world’s oldest
cultivated plant started by the Incas of
Peru.

-It was also known that marijuana was a

―sacred tree‖ in the belief of the
Assyrians being used during religious
rituals.
-The word ―hashish‖ (resin) of the
Marijuana plant was derived from the
name Hasan or Hashasin, the Muslim
cult leader who fed his disciples a
preparation made from the resin of the
female hemp plant as a reward for their
successful activities in assassinations.
-It was in 1806 that a German
pharmacist in the name of Friedrich W.
Serturner discovered Morphine, the
first derivative of opium. He called this
new drug as ―Morphium‖ and later
changed to Morphine after the Greek
god of dream, Morpheus. Morphine
addiction became known as ―soldier’s
disease‖.
-The second attempt of treating opium
and morphine addiction started in 1896
when Heroin (Diacetylmorphine),
synthesized from the drug morphine,
was discovered by a British chemist in
the name of Alder Wright. It was called
the ―miracle drug‖ because it is believed
that it can cure both opium and
morphine addiction.
-Codeine, the third derivative of opium
was discovered in France while in the
process of discovering other drugs that
could cure opium, morphine and heroin
addiction but it also ended in the same
tragic result. Today, it is widely used as
an ingredient in most cough syrup.

 COMPONENTS OF THE
ANTI-DRUG STRATEGY

 PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign

Plan: Double Barrel.

Implemented in a two-pronged
approach, this is the centerpiece of
PNP’s campaign against illegal drugs.
-The lower barrel is dubbed as Project
Tokhang (ToktokHangyo), a Visayan
composite term that stands for knock
(Toktok) and plead (Hangyo).

-The upper barrel, which is the Project HVT

(High Value Target), is a sustained anti-illegal
drugs police operation that includes buy-
busts, service of search and arrests warrants,
manhunts, raids, and checkpoints against
High Value and Street Level Targets involved
in trafficking and selling of illicit drugs.
 THE TREATMENT AND
REHABILITATION OF DRUG
DEPENDENTS

Treatment- the medical service

rendered to a client for the effective
management of physical and mental
conditions related to drug abuse.
Rehabilitation- the dynamic process
directed towards the physical,
emotional/psychological, vocational,
social and spiritual change to prepare a
person for the fullest life compatible with
his capabilities and potentialities, and
render him able to become a law
abiding and productive member of the
community without abusing drugs.
Duration of Rehabilitation- If the
patient is found to be an opiate abuser,
the treatment prescribed shall be for a
period of not less than six (6) months.
 Methods of Rehabilitation

1. Psychotherapeutic Methods

a. Individual Therapy – This involves

a one to one relationship whose aim
is to help the patient reduce his drug
abusing behavior and develop insight
into his condition.
b. Group Therapy – This is a form of
therapy where the individual is helped
through group process.

c. Unstructured Group Therapy –

The role of the therapist can be
assumed by the entire group or group
members.
d. The Family Therapy – This form of
intervention is based on recognition
that while the family as a primary
social unit can be a source of problem
leading to drug abuse, can also be a
powerful factor in improving the
behavior of the drug dependent.
2. The Spiritual and Religious Means
- development of moral and spiritual
values of the user.

3. The Follow-up and After–Care

After his discharge, he has to undergo
follow-up and after-care services for a
period of not more than 18 months by
the appropriate center personnel.
The Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) and the
National Bureau of Investigation
(NBI) are deputized agents of the board
to handle this.
