The risk-benefit binomy was assessed, making emphasis on the details of its indication, dosage, possible alternatives to substitute this drug, as well as implications of its risk consumption and its adictive power. Recommendations were made to perform good medical practices and to assess their medical and legal aspects. Finally, it was stressed the role of the health personnel in the spreading of this topic and its responsibility in the attainment of healthy life styles and better quality of life of our population
