Petition for FDA to reconsider approving Zohydro.

[drusso]

I'd rather write for hydrocodone than see people access pot dispensaries. At least one substance is nominally FDA-approved.

i do not favor medical marijuana.

repeat, i do not favor medical marijuana.

but i would much rather any relative of mine be addicted to marijuana than hydrocodone.


fyi, this is a leading story today:www.aol.com/article/2014/03/12/cvs-stores-in-california-under-investigation-for-missing-narcoti/20848607/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl14|sec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D453250

DEA says Zohydro legal and FDA approved.
DEA says marijuana is schedule I and not lawful.

Wrote my first Zohydro rx today. Expect denial from insurance.

It's out now, and prescribe-able?

Agree, which is why I won't prescribe MM, if my state allowed, and why I don't allow + cannibis. Doesn't mean tho that zo hydro is medically or ethically better... Just saying...

Prescribing hi dose Zohydro - or any opioid- carries with it a lot more risk than using particulate steroids in TFESI's.

Nice to make an opinion unsupportable with data. 2 different groups of people. But the point is taken.

It's not the drug, it's the person getting the Rx (as well as the person writing the Rx).

Completely supportable with data: 17k unintentional ODD/yr >>> than all the cord or brain stem infarcts combined since Art White first described the technique.

If the OD is unintentional how is it due to the person taking it? These are inherently dangerous, addicting drugs.

Then we should pull all of them off the market by your logic.
