..... The "false marketing" allegedly included advertising in medical journals, statements by sales representatives and "the use of front groups to deliver information which downplayed the risks and inflated the benefits of certain formulations of opioids," the statement reads.
"They knew they were wrong, but they did it anyway -- and they continue to do it," DeWine said. "Despite all evidence to the contrary about the addictive nature of these pain medications, they are doing precious little to take responsibility for their actions and to tell the public the truth."
The drugs the companies are accused of selling are OxyContin, MS Contin, Dilaudid, Butrans, Hyslingla, Targiniq, Percocet, Percodan, Opana, Zydone, Actiq, Fentora, Duragesic, Nucynta, Kadian, Norco, and several generic opioids, according to the press release.......
That's a whole lot of good painkillers which many people who have chronic pain need. Now it's a bitch to get Rx for them written or filled.
I guess the druggies get a pass on their part in all of this.

Exactly correct. Now sit back-and we hear the pillbillies, thanks logic, scream even louder that they can't get their fix......

It's really hard to get any opioid pain killer from the VA now unless your terminally ill.
