This Purdue Sales Bulletin memo from January 1999 highlights the aggressive sales culture at Purdue Pharma and how representatives were incentivized to sell OxyContin. The memo was an exhibit in Kentucky’s lawsuit against Purdue that settled in 2015 for $24 million. #opioids #archives https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/opioids/docs/#id=nscf0232

I recently watched #Netflix' #Painkiller series about how Purdue Pharma initiated the worst #opioids consumption epidemic of USA...

I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed about its lack of depth. In the name of drama, they left many important actors out of the picture, like #McKinsey, who had to pay around $600M for their responsibility in all of this https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/03/business/mckinsey-opioids-settlement.html

I guess that a bankrupt company is much easier to attack than one with so much power as McKinsey.

#SCOTUS has blocked a settlement that would protect the billionaire owners of a pharmaceutical firm from being sued for deaths caused by #opioids . Under the deal, the #Sackler family would be shielded from legal liability. Their company, #Purdue Pharma, would emerge from bankruptcy as a different entity, and pay $6 billion to fight America's opioid epidemic. The Biden admin objects to the agreement. #OxyContin Overdoses of painkillers like #OxyContin are blamed for tens of thousands of deaths

In April 2013, Walgreens shared updated Good Faith Dispensing procedures for target drugs (identified as oxycodone, hydromorphone and methadone), noting “additional processes are being put into place to protect our pharmacists and the company.” This document is part of the San Francisco Walgreens Litigation Documents. #opioids #archives https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/opioids/docs/#id=fzbx0257
