The value of skin tests with opioids remains unproven generic biaxin 250 mg on-line, and For most nonbetalactam antibiotics discount biaxin 500mg visa, the value of skin tests optimal skin test concentrations are unknown (moderate/ appears to be uncertain (moderate/weak) and false-positive strong) (31). For fentanyl and its derivatives, the undiluted reactions may occur when the antibiotic is tested at high con- solution is recommended (Table 2) (moderate/strong), and centrations. There is no universal agreement on the optimal possible, and concentrations used in the literature are given in vehicle (aqua, petrolatum, ethanol) or test concentration Table S1 (26, 27). There appears to be skin test cross-reactivity between morphine and 5% codeine phosphate but not with Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 5% pentazocine and 5% tramadol (low/weak). There have been numerous multicentre studies To diagnose these reactions, bisulphite skin tests are of no from France under the auspices of Societe Francaise d’anes- diagnostic value and oral provocation test with metab- thesia et de Reanimation (34), whose recommendations have isulphite is necessary to confirm/exclude the diagnosis been updated recently (7) and these have been endorsed by (moderate/strong). Intradermal test using 1/10 dilution erative screening or testing in patients without prior reactions appears irritant (41). If 1/10 dilution has been used, it is may lead to false-positive tests/conclusions and should not be advised that further tests be carried out with 1/100 and 1/ carried out routinely (high/strong). It is recommended that in the investigation of the sus- tion of heparins (low/weak).

Such a prohibition biaxin 250 mg otc, involving civil or administrative sanction rather than a criminal offence generic 250mg biaxin overnight delivery, could be used to encourage less harmful forms of cannabis consumption. Vaporisers—which do not generate smoke and are not associated with the specifc smoke related cannabis risks—could be exempted from no-smoking ordinances. Potential stimulant regulation models need to respond appropriately to the risks presented by this group of drugs. So, it is important to acknowl- edge that use behaviours encompass a broad spectrum of motivations, environments and product preparations. These are associated with a 64 A curious situation has emerged in the Netherlands where anti-tobacco smoking ordinances have collided with coffee shop licensing. This has meant that cannabis smoking is legal whilst tobacco smoking is not—leading to the peculiar scene of local enforcers checking joints being smoked for prohibited tobacco content. However, they can be divided up into three broad categories: * Functional—sometimes crossing over into medical use, and perhaps more usefully coming under the heading of ‘lifestyle drugs’. Such issues are most commonly associated with higher potency preparations (for example, crack cocaine, methamphetamine) and/or more risky patterns of rapid release consumption—that is, smoking and injection, as opposed to oral use or snorting. It should also be noted that much of contemporary culture and society is steeped in stimulants. Pharmaceutical stimulants are widely prescribed and consumed in vast quantities (including, 66 controversially, by children ). In addition, two of the world’s favourite psychoactive drugs, nicotine and caffeine, are functional stimulants; between them, they saturate much of contemporary culture to the point of ubiquity. Caffeine, in the number one spot, is most commonly consumed in the form of coffee, cola drinks and chocolate. They are aggressively marketed specifically on the basis of their stimulant properties, much like tobacco and amphetamines used to be. It is valued primarily for its functional stimulant properties, rather than for pleasure or recreation per se. Caffeine’s widespread non-harmful—indeed, largely benefcial—con- sumption is mirrored in the widespread use of low potency cocaine preparations; for example, coca leaf chewing and coca tea in the Andean regions of South America. It should be noted that the legality of this remains contentious in international law (see: page 34). Similar localised patterns of stimulant use exist elsewhere, including khat use in Somali speaking Africa, and betel nut use in South Asia and the Pacifc. These are both associated with more clearly documented public health concerns than coca or caffeine drinks, but remain legal in their respective locales. There is a signifcant set of behaviours that involves recreational stim- ulant use in social contexts. These behaviours are driven either by the pleasure of stimulant use itself, or as a quasi-functional adjunct to a social behaviour. Such functional motivations include staying awake into the night, enhancing confdence and alertness in social interac- tions, providing the energy to dance for longer, and so on. Inevitably this involves higher dosage, although generally less frequent, consump- tion than more obviously functional/lifestyle use. As such, it presents a different set of risks and challenges—not least because the user popula- tion is largely made up of young people. Among these populations there is considerable fexibility in stimulant using behaviours. They can be easily substituted depending on taste or availability, and are often used in combination. Even though such patterns of use present increased risk levels, they are for the most part 67 not associated with signifcant personal or social harms. Use is gener- ally occasional, moderate and contained by social norms that emerge amongst using and non-using peer groups in a social context. These norms are further tempered by personal controls, based on both experi- ence and informed understanding of usage risks. Movement towards lower risk products and prepara- tions (lower dose, slower release, orally administered), more informed and lower risk using behaviours (moderation—including abstinence— avoiding poly-drug use/bingeing, supporting peers, etc. Finally there is the subset of the above users who will progress into chaotic, dependent or otherwise problematic stimulant use. Such behaviour is often concurrent with problematic use of other non- stimulant drugs, commonly including opiates and alcohol. For these populations, the most effective response is more medically orien- tated. In particular, it requires regulated supply models to focus on harm reduction (essentially as described above), combined with appropriate provision of treatment/recovery services, plus relevant holistic social support. Different preparations run from negligible-risk orally consumed coca leaf and coca tea, through moderate-risk snorted cocaine powder (the salt of cocaine; cocaine-hydrochloride), to high-risk smoked crack (cocaine base). Cocaine related risks and harms are also signifcantly determined by using behaviours. Cocaine-related problems are widely perceived to be more common and more severe for intensive, high-dosage users and very rare and much less severe for occasional, low-dosage users. Problematic crack users are at the hard end of chaotic drug use, and cause a disproportionate amount of secondary harms to society.
