And again I ask -- how many pharma pockets was the FDA picking while they put blinders on their eyes and allowed this national conspiracy to ravage the U.S. and Canada?

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.

I have reached out to Attorneys General, the Senate and Congress to investigate the FDA to determine their interest in approving yet another painkiller -- highly addictive and capable of being abused...

Does the FDA Have a Conscience -- Or Are They Too Corrupt to Care About American Lives?

FDA approves potentially deadly drug against recommendations of their own committees, big pharma will do anything for money, and the FDA is in their pocket.

Last week I wrote about the Veterans Administration and the American Chronic Pain Association ties to the FDA "pay to play" scandal with the pharmaceutical industry.
