1/ Endo, the company that made Opana (oxymorphone), was just ordered to Pay $1.5 billion in criminal fines and forfeiture. The company also pled guilty to falsely promoting Opana ER as abuse deterrent. But that was the least of their bad actions.

Now this won't magically "solve the opioid crisis." People already addicted need different interventions. The goal of stewardship is to harm fewer people with the drugs. - putting fewer excess tablets into circulation - leaving fewer chronic pain patients trapped on opioids /5
