>Pharmaceutical companies such as Purdue Pharma marketed OxyContin, a painkiller that is more powerful than morphine, and therefore contains opiates. Opiates are very (quickly) addictive. Due to aggressive marketing for these opiates, doctors started prescribing such painkillers more and more quickly.
>Pharmaceutical companies also rewarded doctors who prescribed more with bonuses or sweet trips. Sometimes you were given such an addictive pill through a prescription after a tooth extraction. Before they knew it, countless Americans became addicted. Pharmaceutical companies apparently let greed and profiteering take precedence over the safety of Americans.
I hope our health system won’t have such a corruption as the American one. It is said that malpractice and greedy ways of pharmaceutics like Purdue led to the death of more than 500.000 Americans alone until 2019.
It’s here already alas.
To be fair we did invent it
Spread to us? Like we don’t already stock it and use it as painkillers in Belgium…
Don’t see what the addictive nature of it is anyway. Had to use some a few months ago and never thought to get more.
