New UH pharmacy service to tackle prescription drug misuse

(University of Houston) For the first time in American history, a person is more likely to die from an accidental opioid overdose than from a car accident. Responding to such trends, the University of Houston College of Pharmacy has opened the Prescription Drug Misuse Education and Research (PREMIER) Center to educate providers and patients on safe and effective controlled substance prescription use -- and they're starting off strong -- with a $3.34 million grant for safe drug disposal.
