The Ohio attorney general has filed a lawsuit against five leading prescription opioid manufacturers, alleging that the companies intentionally misled patients regarding the risks and benefits of opioid use with fraudulent marketing.

Attorney General Mike DeWine accused the companies of leading patients to believe that opioids were not addictive, which the lawsuit says fueled the current opioid epidemic in Ohio.

The five manufacturers listed in the lawsuit, filed in the Ross County Court of Common Pleas, are Purdue Pharma, Endo Health Solutions, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and its subsidiary Cephalon, Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals, and Allergan.

The lawsuit was filed in Ross County since Southern Ohio was the area hit the hardest by the opioid epidemic, the press release states. A record of 3,050 people in Ohio died from drug overdose in 2015, The Associated Press reported. That figure is expected to rise significantly once the 2016 figures have been tallied, according to the AP.

The lawsuit alleges that the drug companies violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and created a "public nuisance by disseminating false and misleading statements about the risks and benefits of opioids."

The "false marketing" allegedly included advertising in medical journals, statements by sales representatives and "the use of front groups to deliver information which downplayed the risks and inflated the benefits of certain formulations of opioids," the statement reads.

The drugs the companies are accused of selling are OxyContin, MS Contin, Dilaudid, Butrans, Hyslingla, Targiniq, Percocet, Percodan, Opana, Zydone, Actiq, Fentora, Duragesic, Nucynta, Kadian, Norco, and several generic opioids, according to the press release.

Surprising. I would have thought a place really fucked up with this shit like somewhere in the south would have been first.

Thats awesome, good on America! This type of lawsuit is impossible in swedens socialist system. You can only sue individual doctors for "overprescribing" here, but they get a slap on the wrist. Such lawsuits have happened only like twice ever.

Ohio's pretty solid overall as a state desu. But the areas bordering West Virginia and Kentucky have unsurprisingly seen a spike in opioid abuse.
>>
>>127982284
RIP Mike DeWine, he will probably wind up dead soon. These pharma companies don't fuck around. A lot of people don't know the scope of just how much money is in this stuff. In one year, one drug (Lipitor) made more money than the ENTIRE music industry. with the amount of Americans prescribed this bullshit one or more of these drugs is probably similar in scale to Lipitor.

Ohio actually now has the most opiate overdose deaths in the country believe it or not.

Good luck. The second you start getting any legal action to stick to them they will just close up shop and start selling it as "fentanall" and youll have to start all over (getting chinese courts to cooperate in the first place would have been a one time fluke)

I'm a Washington fag. I know soooo many people that have/use percs and vicodin on a regular basis. It's fucked. We need to sue a lot fucking more companies than just that one in ohio.
>>
>>127982284

lawsuit that's going nowhere, i would wager that none of these people died b/c they took the prescribed dosage, opiate dosages are always quite low and doctors are eternally anal about even prescribing them unless you have serious issues, particularly with your back.

its more likely some idiots were taking more than they should and were drinking heavily. alcohol + opiates = early grave

>opiate dosages are always quite low
then where do all the pills come from to sell/abuse?think nigger. they hand these things out like candy
>>
>>127984113
I'm 40 minutes from Columbus and the past year my small town has been invaded by niggers. Only saw a single nigger in town before then.

It''s really fishy. I think a local factory is drawing them in because I see them mostly at night. The time when only night shift workers and weirdos like me that prefer to shop at midnight are out.
>>
>>127993635
Some doctors are anal. You know who's not anal? The distributors of the drug. You know who's not anal? Doctor XiangPao at the 5th pain management clinic you see on your way to work in poor cities. You know where checks and balances are in effect? At the doctor level. Why does Doctor Goldberg need 50 tons of oxys a month when most hospitals need 1/100ths of what he uses? Oh wait, nobody looks at this information. There is no watchdog for big pharma, only their dealers. They profit from corrupt doctors and then say oops we could never tell.
