I read today that the amount of drugs like Oxycodone in raw form that manufacturers of pain pills comtaining the chemical have been drastically reduced.
Manufacturers were allowed about 135 million grams of it a couple of years ago, last year they were only allowed around 95,000,000 grams.
The number of patients on oxy vs morphine for chronic pain have switched sides. A few years ago apprently Morphine was commonly prescribed for chronic pain. After Oxy was introduced, the number of patients taking oxy now days os more than double the number of patients on Morphine for CP.
Apparently the DEA has also set amounts/restrictions that pharmacies can have in stock in one day. I read it was like 6-100 pill bottles of oxy. This has caused a difficulty for some CPP’s, to get their meds filled.
Hopefully some of these people will try Suboxone for Chronic Pain, and see that it does work and can improve their lives as well.
