OxyContin / Oxycodone Hydrochloride
OxyContin is a narcotic analgesic used to relieve pain. Purdue Pharma manufactures OxyContin. The drug has helped thousands of chronic pain sufferers live more normal lives.
The drug is popular on the black market because it produces a euphoric high seldom achieved with illicit drugs. Critics of OxyContin are alarmed with the increasing numbers of patients who have become addicted to the drug. Often such addictions lead to accidental deaths from overdoses. Some critics, including a Virginia physician, have called for a ban of OxyContin.
See your doctor if you are addicted to OxyContin or if you have experienced serious side effects associated with the drug. In addition, it may be important to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits within which you must commence suit.
