AG Eric Holder Calls Rise in Heroin Overdose Deaths ``an urgent public health crisis``

Make yourself comfortable Mr. Holder and I will lay out the corrupt trail from the makers of Zohydro ER, to the physicians who profited from the push for opioids over the years minimizing the risks of addiction, to the pharma financed pain foundations funded by pharma and ending right at the doors to the FDA.

So what are you going to do about it Mr. Holder? You're vowing to fight this urgent public crisis. When are you going to call for a full investigation into the FDA's approval of Zohydro ER (made by Zogenix) scheduled to be launched this month?

FDA Unleashes Another Lethal Painkiller, Zohydro ER to Kill and Addict -- but with a Cruel Twist

The cruel twist is that the newly approved pure hydrocodone product, Zohydro ER will be made by the same company that manufactures Vivitrol, a drug used to treat patients addicted to opioids or alcohol.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - My recent articles have been calling the FDA out for approving a painkiller called Zohydro ER. This approval was given in spite of the FDA's Advisory Committee not recommending the dangerous drug be made available in the U.S.
