دا ویبینار د اپیوایډ انالجیکونو په کارولو کې وروستی نړیوال او سیمه ایز رجحانات وړاندې کړل او د شتون پورې اړوند مسلې وپلټئ.

په ټوله نړۍ کې د اپیوایډ انالجیکونو مصرف مخ په ډیریدو دی ، مګر لاهم هرکال په ملیونونو خلک د درد له امله مړه کیږی ، پشمول د ماشومانو ، ډیری یې په بې وزلو هیوادونو کې ، او همدارنګه د پرمختللو هیوادونو په کلیوالی سیمو کې.

د دې درملو په کارولو کې د رجحاناتو مشاهده کول اړین دی ترڅو معلومه کړی چې کوم درمل کارول کیږی او که نړیوال بازار ډیری نوی او لږ ارزانه فورمولونه توزیع کوی ، ترڅو د وخت په تیریدو سره د ځانګړو اپیوایډونو کارولو سیمه ایز نمونو کې کوم بدلون وټاکی ، او په...
