We have discussed it many times before; the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse. It is great to see that changes are being made, even if in this instance they are limited to Ontario, Canada. The province’s drug benefit program is delisting the prescription painkiller OxyContin. The reason they are doing so is that they want to try to put a stop to the addiction epidemic of the highly addictive drug. By making it harder for patients to get and physicians to prescribe, they hope to, at the very least, start making a difference. This is the first time in history that the province decided to take such drastic measures because a drug was deemed to be ‘too addictive’.
