OxyContin Maker Cancels Meeting with FDA About Abuse Deterrent, Drug & Alcohol Rehab Denver Remarks

(LegalLaw247.com, July 14, 2015 ) Denver, CO -- It's unusual for a meeting with the Food and Drug Administration to be cancelled, but according to News West 9, that's exactly what happened when the makers of OxyContin declined to keep their appointment with the FDA to review how their abuse deterrent drugs were working. Purdue Pharma's reported reason for cancelling the meeting results from insufficient research into the empirical data of the new formulation's performance. News West 9 quotes Dr. Richard Fanlli, "Given the complexity of epidemiological research and the unprecedented nature of this exercise, we've made the decision to complete additional analyses." Because the abuse deterrent formulation of Oxycontin was implemented in 2010, the FDA's meeting planned to address how well the drug prevented subsequent addictions and diminished abuse rates.

Drug and alcohol Rehab Denver asserts having insight to abuse deterrent drugs as soon as possible is critical for public health. Favorable results may spur other companies producing addictive medications to action. Drug and alcohol Rehab Denver provides clients with affordable drug rehab in Denver, and is dedicated to helping addicts with untreated drug and alcohol use disorders recover.

Specializing in heroin rehab in Denver (including other opiate based additives), Drug and Alcohol Rehab takes a special stake in the results of abuse deterrent medications. An associate from the drug and alcohol rehab center comments,

"We're disappointed to see the meeting postponed, as the results of the findings may have expedited the process of getting other addictive medication companies to change their easily abuse-able formulations of their products. It's common for those who begin abusing prescription medications to transition to heroin, sometimes quickly- so the faster we're able to prevent the abuse of prescription medications, the less people will be in danger for addiction.

"Conversely, it's important that we identify if abuse deterrent drugs are doing what they're supposed to be doing as soon as possible. In the event they are ineffective, it's imperative the industry either remedies its shortcomings, or creates another plan of action entirely."
