Early OxyContin Marketing Still Problematic Today
Julia Dennett and Gregg Gonsalves explore the long-term impacts of the
marketing of OxyContin
<[link removed]>,
a prescription opioid analgesic, in 1996 in their newly published Health
Affairs article.
Their study compares outcomes between states with high and low levels of
exposure to early OxyContin marketing both before and after the 2010
reformulation of OxyContin.
Dennett and Gonsalves conclude that "exposure to initial OxyContin
marketing statistically significantly increased fatal synthetic
opioid-related overdose rates; incidence of acute hepatitis A, hepatitis
B, and hepatitis C; and infective endocarditis-related mortality rates
after the 2010 OxyContin reformulation."
These findings suggest that OxyContin marketing in 1996 is related to
adverse long-term health outcomes over twenty-five years later.
