Abstract
The study was carried out on (72)addicts of analgesics which containthe compound Codeine
such as the syrup of cough supressant . The ages of the addicts were between (18-48) years
and the period of addiction was 4 to10tewrs . Also,40 persons who do not take any drugs
were taken as samples for purpose of compartion.The study aimed at identifying the
Hematological measurements which could happen to the addicts of such drugs .As the study
aimed at studying the Cytogenetic measurements of the addiicts and mean while identifying
the side symptoms which accompany this case of addication.
Accordingiy , it has been found out that the over use of the analgesics creates a spiritual
desrease P average of the total serum biliruben (T.S.B) (1.72) mg/dl. Also,there is a spiritual increase of
the average of the E.S.R P count average of W.B.C(8986)cell/ml3 associated with a decrease of the immuntiy of the
addicts greatly.There occures spiritual differeneces P differental W.B.C represented by a decrease in the average of the existence of the
Netrophil(37.38)cell/ml3 . on the other hand,there is an increase in the rate of the
Monocytes(16.29) cell/ml3 and Lymphocyte(43.17) cell/ml3 . Although there were no
chromosomal aberrations or damage (with the exception of one case),there were formation of
the Micronuclei (MN) with various forms in most of the individuals of the samples . Also,
there was an increase in the Mitotic index factor (MI) with (2.8%)in all the cases which is
another indication of creating genetic and chromosomal aberrations which could not be
observed easily through the test of the chromosomal Karyotype.
