USA. Purdue Pharma: We manufacture prescription opioids. How could we not help fight the prescription and illicit opioid abuse crisis?
Two doctors founded a company in 1892 now known as Purdue Pharma. Continuing the strong heritage of a research-driven, science-based company, another doctor is currently at the helm as CEO. We’re the pharmaceutical company that manufactures OxyContin®. Patients’ needs and safety have guided our steps. It’s what led us to research and develop medications to help patients. Today, it’s what has spurred us to redouble our efforts in the fight against the prescription and illicit opioid abuse crisis. It’s why we’re taking action. (Purdue Pharma, USA, Januar 2018)
