Most common drug poisoning in the usa:
-For prescription painkillers:
Opioid analgesics; Methadone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone; after comes cocaine and heroine.
-For over the counter:
opioid pain medication and benzodiazepines
-For children:
Medication poisonings are twice as likely than household products
--At least that's what CDC says.
