The FDA says it will force the maker of the medication Opana ER to recall it's drug, or it will reverse it's approval.
Why you may ask.
People are crushing it up and injecting it for a high.
So a legal drug, that can help people that need it, is going off market because some are abusing it.
Maybe it's just me, but somehow that just seems wrong.

If they discontinue this drug, addicts will find another, it's never ending with addicts. There's always some pill they will crush. People who need this drug or any drug are going to be out of luck. Not fair to people who are riddled with pain. 4951

If I read that article correctly... then not only is the FDA requesting this drug to be pulled from the market (but not OxyContin - which has a very high abuse rate), but the State of Ohio is also suing several opiod drug manufacturers because people are abusing their drugs.This makes no sense to me.  Suing the drug companies that are trying to help people and make money because some people choose to abuse the drug? 4951

@SmurfySuzi: Opiod manufacturers initially withheld the information regarding the addictive nature of the medication.  They knew but marketed them aggressively as safe.  That is what is at the crux of that litigation.

@plakata:
Opioids have been known to be addictive for a VERY long time..Charles Dickens comes to mind as well as the use of laudanan..if physicians needed it spelled out to them, it's on them.

@BooBear: Coleridge is supposed to have been using opium while writing Kubla Khan.  But those were not synthetic which are the subject of the lawsuit.  Those were marketed to the medical community as safe, hiding the risk of addiction that the industry knew was present.  The litigation will mirror the tobacco cases. 4951

@plakata: Synthetic or not the Physicians should have known that given the highly addictive base of Opium that opiods by nature would be addictive as well.  Provided that Physicians are not just handing out prescriptions to opiods all willynilly like they used to, then why does the litigation fall on the manufacturer?  The average Joe trusts their Doctors and Pharmacists to know the drugs that they are prescribing, that the Doctors and Pharmacists would blindly trust big pharma to tell the truth when it would impact their bottom line is idiotic.  This type of litigation only drives the prices of all other medications up, so that their bottom line will not be affected by settlement payments.

@SmurfySuzi: The manufacturers allegedly withheld data and falsely claimed that synthetics were safer because they were not addictive.  While it might be true that it is instinct to think in every form is unsafe, biochemistry is not that simple.  There are molecular differences and combinations that their presence or absence change effects.Doctors don't have the resources to conduct the studies manufacturers have to do.  They have to rely on the data the manufacturers provide.  They should be alert to the possibility of addictionPharmacists are on yet another boat.  Theirs does not provide for the questioning of the addictive nature of medications.  They can and are required to identify unlawful abuse and through the consultation process we the customers forego, should advise the patient about the potential for addiction. Big Pharma should consider the potential for monetary repercussions from being a bad actor.  Not holding them accountable gives them a license to do as they please to bolster their bottom line no matter the risk to the public.Off course that type of litigation increases the prices of medications but they also promote safety.  I know I know I don't speak for everyone but I'll gladly pay an extra dollar in exchange for knowing or having a reasonable expectation that the product will not maim or kill me.
