OxyContin 12 Hour Class Action Investigation
Investigating a class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals and entities that paid for any portion of an OxyContin prescription. OxyContin is a powerful pain medication sold by Purdue Pharma. Purdue has generated over $31 billion in revenue for OxyContin sales. Purdue aggressively promoted OxyContin as a 12 hour pain reliever. The Los Angeles Times reviewed thousands of internal Purdue documents from court cases and governmental investigations. These documents uncover a detailed description of how Purdue allegedly falsely promoted OxyContin as a 12 hour interval pain reliever despite internal testing to the contrary. Purdue's 12 hour claim provided OxyContin with a market advantage against other cheaper pain relievers. Additionally, when the drug wears off prior to 12 hours, patients suffer withdrawal symptoms that a relieved with another dose which fosters an addiction. If you or someone you know, paid for any portion of OxyContin based on the claim that it was a 12 hour pain reliever, please contact us. |
