The health secretary in the UK announced that all opioid medicines will now carry prominent warnings on their labels saying they can cause addiction.
The decision came after figures in England and Wales revealed a-more-than 60% increase in prescriptions for opioid painkillers in the last decade.
Health experts have welcomed the move, saying opioids can cause "life-altering and sometimes fatal addictions".
The Department of Health said that opioids, such as morphine or fentanyl, are derived from opium and can be highly effective for managing severe pain but they can also be highly addictive.

Today, there's a pill for everything. But each pill contains the main drug component along with other compounds that are known as “inactive ingredients” that help stabilize the drug or aid in its absorption, and they can make up more than half of a pill’s mass. Scientists are now suggesting that these inactive ingredients may not be as harmless as you'd think and may cause adverse reactions in individuals who have allergies or intolerances. Gastroenterologist Giovanni Traverso from MIT and his team analysed public database Pillbox, which contains information about over 42,000 oral medications marketed in the US. They found that 38 of the inactive ingredients were reported as causing allergic symptoms in the past, and about 93% of all the oral medications contained at least one potential allergen. This may be a trigger for newer regulations and legislations when it comes to medicine labels.
