The main factors affecting the distribution of narcotic drugs
,
Abstract
Background: Narcotic drugs are used as an effective analgesic in diseases such as cancers and malignancies after surgery and addiction treatment. The available data show that the burden of addiction in Iranian society is not decreasing despite several thousand addiction treatment centers in the country. This issue reveals the importance of the proper use of narcotic drugs and the legal and controlled distribution in our society. One of the critical issues in medicine is the discussion of the correct supply of drugs, mainly controlled drugs, and narcotics, which are very prone to consumption and trafficking. Targeted distribution of these drugs can be a big step towards combating drug trafficking and drug abuse in Iran and preventing the illegal market for narcotic analgesics. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution method of analgesic drugs in Iran. Methods:Â Qualitative method was used to study the distribution system and access to narcotic drugs in Iran. Data analysis was performed by an inductive method and developing models and themes. In the sampling process of experts, up to 40 interviews were conducted in person by the researcher. Results: The main factors affecting the distribution of narcotic drugs in Iran were identified, and solutions for the optimal distribution of these drugs were presented. This study showed the importance and role of regulatory bodies, monitoring system, supply and distribution system, electronic system, and the place of supply of narcotic drugs that have affected the distribution of narcotic drugs in Iran. Conclusion: The problem that can be seen outside the control of the organization's inspectors on the performance of these centers is due to a large number of pharmacies and MMT centers, and this is one of the disorders and obstacles to the principle of monitoring the distribution process within the system. Also, we need to consider the main factors affecting the distribution of narcotic drugs.
