  actually Zogenix has a product with less adverse effects than what's available ... has the ability to be abused by patients, but so does the competition it might possible replaced with less adverse effect on a organ ... the panel shows how corrupt they are ... chk their offshore accounts LOL

  purdue pharma must have had deeper pockets and more influence on the panel than zogenix did....

  meanwhile, pain sufferers....actual pain from cancer, or debilitating diseases, and not just clowns with a tooth ache or pulled muscle....can't get pain relief they need. Oxycontin, aka purdue pharma, had to change their formula because the FDA came down on them so hard for all issues they had with abuse (i.e. crushing, snorting, and shooting)....who in their right mind would have thought the government would okay Zohydro? A drug like what oxycontin was prior to purdue being required to make the tamper and abuse resistant changes they were told to make, or quit making it. Only way zohydro get approved, make it witht he same stuff oxycontin is made from where it can't be crushed. It's an option, but it won't be any bette than whats already out there...why would people switch?

  What the public does not understand is ever since the reformulation of Oxycontin and Opana the drugs no longer work for legitamate patients.

  They are little more than placebo's.

  People who suffer from chronic pain have had to go back to using liver damaging Vicodin, or the generic forms of it.
