PAINKILLERS FOR KIDS
PAINKILLERS FOR KIDS
OxyContin maker wants FDA
backing to label addictive drug for 6-year-olds
"But in the case of Oxycontin, Kolodny and others worry
that children are especially vulnerable to addiction. He also points to a 2005
study from the University
of Michigan finding that
children who are prescribed opioids are more likely to abuse painkillers in
later life.
Teen abuse of OxyContin has already taken an epic toll on communities across
the country."
