[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s infuriating and infuriating Oxy has not been pulled from approval.[/quote]

As someone who just had surgery - I’m awful glad it is available and equally cautious about my usage but man does it work. [/quote]

Other things worked too[/quote]

And they were also addictive and have side effects.  Pain is real and should be treated - the drug isn’t bad, the application and sale of it is. [/quote]

I just finished reading Empire of Pain and wanted to see if there was a thread. Do you know that Purdue has known for decades that the drug is not effective as labeled? They did not do prior studies, shoved it through the FDA with complicit officials, and never did large trials. The dosing was one pill every 12 hours, but they started getting reports that the efficacy was off that it only lasted 8 hours, causing people to feel pain and start abusing it. Also, 20% of doctors were writing dx's that were against labeling because of its failures. So, unless they have changed the formulation since the reporting in this book, they were continuing to heavily push a drug that they knew had problems. They marketed it as safe, when they knew it wasn't. They also hid the strength of it (something like 9x stronger than vicodin) and it has been found over and over again that their marketing/sales was one big lie from the beginning. They knew it was being abused and did nothing but push harder on the marketing/sales. [/quote]
