Reply to: RT article- States begin to ban dangerous new FDA-approved painkiller

If what they are worried about is harms then they would allow this medication to be approved. If it currently is the only non Acetaminophen containing hydrocodone would they rather see the liver failures? More harm than good suggests that they do not even have a lid on their local prescription pill problem. Wouldn't it be a positive thing if they could curb use of those more potent drugs by just prescribing this instead. It's probably less potent than those other drugs that they prescribe. Less dangerous. Most of those synthetics are stopping kids breathing, forcing them to remember to breath. Why not approve this drug? It could only curb harms if doctors work to cut use of the synthetics.

Tell me more how that will do anything but punish patients and drive up dependence and addiction rates for drugs such as Opana which are far more dangerous. Do they know the dangers of Acetaminophen liver toxicity? Idiots.
