7/20- Indivior pays $2billion fine for prescribing an opiod to tx addiction

July 27, 2020 - DOJ convicts in largest fine in case of opioid abuse prescribing by a company.

  "Indivior Solutions today pleaded guilty to a one-count felony information and, together with its parent companies Indivior Inc. and Indivior plc, agreed to pay a total of $600 million to resolve criminal and civil liability associated with the marketing of the opioid-addiction-treatment drug Suboxone.  Together with a $1.4 billion resolution with Indivior’s former parent, Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (RB Group), announced in 2019, and a plea agreement with Indivior plc’s former CEO, Shaun Thaxter, announced last month, the total resolution relating to the marketing of Suboxone is more than $2 billion — the largest-ever resolution in a case brought by the Department of Justice involving an opioid drug.

Suboxone is a drug product approved for use by recovering opioid addicts to avoid or reduce withdrawal symptoms while they undergo treatment for opioid-use disorder.  Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a powerful opioid."

Posted this one before, but real eye-opener on YT from Frontline: Opioids Inc-  How companies get practitioners to prescribe opioids to get the max prescription and dosage per patient. In other words, to get the patient hooked on lethal doses for profit.

This kind of behavior is how we all wound up on BB.
