Our scientific background


We are Drs Ulf and Birgitta Jonasson from Sweden and we have studied the painkilling substance (Dextro)Propoxyphene (DXP) since 1993, that is now more than 18 years.

We wrote and published 8 scientific articles about the substance from different point of views.

We wrote and defended two doctoral dissertations: 

Jonasson B. Studies on dextropropoxyphene - with special reference to dependence among chronic pain patients, classification of the manner of death in fatal poisoning, and characteristics of the fatal poisoning victims. Dissertation from the Faculty of Medicine. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, Uppsala 2000. ISBN 91-554-4729-5. (around 90 pages)

Jonasson U. Studier av bruket av dextropropoxifen ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv. Påverkan av ett regelverk. (Studies on the use of dextropropoxyphene from the aspect of public health. Influence on at regulatory framework). Dissertations for the degree of Doctor of Public Health. The Nordic School of Public health. Gothenburg. Sweden, 2001. ISBN 91-694798-43-2 (around 130 p)

We also presented our research in a popular science version – to get the results known outside the academic world

Dödsfall genom bruk och missbruk av värktabletter. (1999) – Swedish version. (64 p)

Fatalities due to use or misuse of painkillers. (2001) – English version. (71 p)
