the article submitted specifically address this and cites figures that Purdue marketed from one incredibly flimsy sentence to claim 1% addiction rates, when reality according to the article is 8-12%
- refurb 7y agoRight. Purdue claimed opioids in general were less addictive, not that oxycodone itself was less addictive.
- FussyZeus 7y agoNo no, Purdue claimed that Oxycontin's time-release formula was believed to reduce it's addictiveness. Which yes, is a pretty logical follow through, but also you'd expect more rigorous proof than "we think it'll do that" for medicines.
