OxyContin For Kids: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?by Abby

A day after Glaxo agreed to pay the largest drug fraud

settlement ever for illegally marketing anti-depressants - and

as further if redundant proof that Big Pharma will do anything to

make a buck - comes news that Purdue Pharma is trying to get six more

months of patent

protection for its wildly profitable, highly addictive

painkiller OxyContin - second cousin to morphine and heroin - by trying

it out on kids as young as six. The company, which in a landmark case

already paid $635 million in fines after being found guilty of misleading

doctors and the public about OxyContin’s risk of addiction, says it is

doing the pediatric trials so doctors " can make better decisions

about the care of their patients.” They also have a bridge to sell you.

Shameless.
