Abstract
Intentional and accidental poisoning or overdose is a
serious concern in Iran. There are some reasons for this,
first of which, is that Iran has the highest rate of opium
addiction in the world. Also, there are no efficient rules
and enough surveillance on selling the pharmaceutical
drugs in the pharmacies in Iran and nearly all medications are available to the lay people as over the counter
medications. So, there are so many poisoned patients admitted to the Iranian hospitals every year
