Growing Number of England's Students Taking New Smart Drugs
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) August 25, 2013 -- As reported by by The Telegraph (8/13) in Pill popping not such a smart move for students, an increasing number of England's college students are taking prescription drugs known as smart pills to help them study for long periods. The Care Quality Commission, an agency in England,which monitors controlled substances, says prescriptions for methylphenidate drugs, including Ritalin, which are used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), have risen by 56 per cent in the past five years. In a five year period from 2007-2012, pharmacies in England experienced more than a 50% increase in prescriptions for drugs. Prescriptions in the time frame rose from 420,000 to 657,000 prescriptions.
It is because these smart pills can be ordered from the Internet, are untested and unknown, that they can pose unforeseen risks, which can cause injury up to and including death.

According to Pill popping not such a smart move for students, students are selling or sharing the drugs with friends on campus. Students will take the drugs to help them perform better in their classwork and on school exams. It is estimated that at Cambridge University, 10% of the students use smart pills such as Modafinil.
A recent survey found that 70% of Americans now take at least one prescription drug. The concern is that today's students will continue to rely on these smart drugs will continue into working life and become as entrenched in our society.
