What happened to Purdue Pharma's infamous drug?
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary After the horrors depicted in Netflix's Painkiller, many viewers want to know what happened to the Purdue Pharma drug OxyContin. Painkiller is a dramatized series that tells the rise and fall of Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. Characters of Painkiller include fictional versions of pharmaceutical reps, Purdue executives, and investigators.
According to The Controlled Substances Act classification system, OxyContin is a Schedule II narcotic, which makes it highly addictive with some indicated medical uses. Unfortunately, as seen in Painkiller, the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma mass-marketed the product as the safest opioid available. Additionally, they lied about the risks caused by the medication, encouraging former FDA agent Curtis Wright to approve the drug.
Under the bankruptcy plan provided on Purdue Pharma's website, they will transfer everything to Knoa Pharmacy, a new company that will continue producing medications, including opioids. This company will function under independent board members. Most importantly, they will research and provide opioid addiction treatments and overdose reversal medications at no profit. If the plan is approved by the court, Knoa Pharma will have zero affiliation with the Sacklers.
