To the Editor: Data recently released by the National Center for Health Statistics show drug overdose deaths increased for the 11th consecutive year in 2010.1 Pharmaceuticals, especially opioid analgesics, have driven this increase.2 Other pharmaceuticals are involved in opioid overdose deaths, but their involvement is less well characterized. Using 2010 mortality data, we describe the specific drugs involved in pharmaceutical and opioid-related overdose deaths.
