List of Prescription Drugs Found in Brittany Murphy’s Home
Filed Under Arts, Entertainment and Music, Other | Leave a Comment
Brittany Murphy was found dead in her home days before Christmas she apparently died of heart failure.
Toxicology reports are still forthcoming, but the discovery of prescription drugs at her nightstand raises the possibility that a mix of these drugs may have had a hand in her untimely death.
“Many of these drugs are not only highly addictive, but are deadly if combined,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia. “Many people don’t realize the dangers of prescription drug abuse, and whether her doctors knew she was combining these potentially lethal drugs is a question that should be answered. The drugs found are very powerful, often affecting different parts of the body, often with tragic results.”
Found at Brittany Murphy’s nightstand were, as reported by TMZ:
* Topamax, an anti-seizure medication.
* Klonopin and Ativan, benzodiazepine drugs which are used as ant-anxiety medications.
* Vicoprofen and Hydrocodone, pain medications both similar to heroin and morphine in their pain-relieving (and addictive) properties.
* Fluoxetine, better known as Prozac, a depression medication
* Propranolol, a hypertension medication.
“Ordinarily, this list of drugs would sound quite benign, however a closer look at these drugs reveals this combination of drugs to be quite deadly,” comments Ms. Rieser.
“One side effect of Vicoprofen is hypertension, which would explain the presence of Propranolol to combat this hypertension.
