Currently oxycontin is approved for moderate-severe
pain. The sad truth is too many people are faking moderate
pain and selling the pills on the street. After all we would
NOT have these OXY related death's if the kids were not able
to buy oxy on the street. Also so many death's and addiction
happen to people who NEVER should of been prescribed it in the
first place. We need oxy reclassified to it's
original use which is CANCER and SEVERE pain.

RE: Purdue Pharma and OxyContin
Purdue Pharma and Palladone
Since the beginning of 2003, I have been waging a
campaign of alerting all government agencies and news
media of the mass marketing of a highly addictive
Schedule II narcotic called OxyContin. This drug has
been mass marketed by a privately held pharmaceutical
company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut called
Purdue Pharma. I am sure you are well aware of the
devastation this drug has caused throughout our country,
but because of the brilliant marketing
strategies used by Purdue Pharma, it is just now being
exposed.
My interest in holding Purdue Pharma accountable for the
marketing of OxyContin is because my 29-year old
daughter, Jill had the misfortune of being prescribed
the drug in January 2002 and took it for four months
before dying on April 29, 2002 leaving behind a 6 year
old son, Brian.
I would like to call your attention to a 5 part series
the Orlando Sentinel started October 19, 2003 on
OxyContin and Purdue Pharma. I am sure you will find it
very informative and should raise quite a bit of concern
for you. The concern for me is that
Purdue Pharma is
now attempting to get approval from the FDA for a drug
called Palladone. If the FDA approves Palladone for
moderate pain, I believe it will make OxyContin look
like a day at the beach. Palladone will have 32 mg. of
time released hydromorphine equal to 320 mgs of
morphine.
How much more devastation do we need to witness in
families devastated by a corporation marketing profit –
not pain management before they are stopped? For your
information, the UK approved Palladone only for cancer
pain.
Please read the Orlando Sentinel 5 part series on the
Internet this week to educate yourselves. In the
meantime, if Palladone is approved for moderate pain and
does in fact devastate this country as much as OxyContin
has, I will remind
you and every official in government that a
whistleblower does not have to be an employee of a
company – I am a mother who knows when something is very
wrong with a drug company out of control – and I am a
whistleblower. Her name was Jill Carol Skolek and she
didn’t deserve to be prescribed OxyContin. Will one of
your family members be prescribed Palladone and suffer a
tragedy before the FDA is forced to weigh what OxyContin
has done throughout this country before
they give Purdue Pharma approval to market Palladone for
moderate pain?
Before Purdue Pharma begins a new campaign of abuse and
diversion of Palladone, please hold Purdue Pharma
accountable now and also the FDA
..
Sincerely,
Marianne Skolek
