I remember when Oxycontin forst came out. The drug reps visited us at least once a week in the ER pushing this drug. They said it was less addictive because it was sustained release. They also claimed that there would be fewer overdoses because it was sustained release.
It wasnt long until we started seeing multitudes of overdoses. People, especially inexperienced teens, were chewing the pills to get the full dose instantly or shooting it up. The number of overdoses we saw in the ER skyrocketed as well as the number of addicts who came to the ER seeking Oxy.
The drug companies lied to get thier product out there and get people addicted. They were sued and lost their lawsuit but by then they had made billions so it didnt matter.
