Too many tragic deaths have one thing in common – they died from opioid related overdoses.
This is a devastating and unacceptable number – the highest ever recorded in a single year.
The start of this epidemic can be traced back 28 years ago with the broad approval of OxyContin. In the years since, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has done very little to learn from their mistakes and change how they approve and manage highly addictive and deadly drugs. Instead of reining in prescriptions opioids, they have approved more powerful and addictive versions.
