The emergency service recorded 200 emergency calls from medication
poisoning in the course of 2007, statistics department head of the
emergency service, Satenik Poghosyan, told Panoarama.am. In her words,
the number of emergency calls recorded in the course of the last year
is not a low indicator.
In the words of Susanna Nushikyan, director of primary health care
center of Kanaker-Avan communities, poisoning from medication is
mainly caused by carelessness of consumers. "We must not exclude the
fact that expired medication is also sold. However, the buyers are
supposed to check the expiration date while purchasing the product,"
Nushikyan said.
