This is about what I expected...



Big Pharma Cashes In: Jacks Up Price of Overdose Antidotes

http://www.thedailybeast....ouble.html



"The auto-inject version of the drug that used to cost $575 for two doses now costs $3,750, according to Politico. The generic, Naloxone, isn’t much better: pre-crisis, the drug cost $1.84 per dose. Now, the drug costs 17 times that."





Yah - Big Pharma plays dirty pool.
RIP Prince. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you so much.

ya, i threw out my codiene pills last week. I'll just accept the migraines I get, go lay down, put some ice on my head, whatever. Sometimes it's better to just deal with the pain, life is pain, it's one of the great truths of most religions.



Let us know how long that lasts.....
RIP Prince. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you so much.

My son plays football. He used pain medication to get him through the season last year due to an injury. Because of this, he will not be using pain medicine in the future, especially opioids.

Prince was always bigger than life. His death has led to an international focus on pain management and addiction. Laws will be changed, behaviors will be changed and lives will be saved. It has even become an issue in the presidential race. Doctors will know be more careful. Enablers will be more careful. Sad that it had to happen to my hero but this should give us some comfort.


It will be an issue for about a year- then it will be forgotten. The problem is: Pain is pain. And when someone is in excrutiating, chronic pain, they will do anything to make it stop. My cousin's favorite saying, when she is having a bad day is: "I just think it's easier to die!"
RIP Prince. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you so much.
