Daily News | Malvern opioid maker Endo to be monitored by Obama’s former drug czar for $25K a month
Under pressure from people impacted by the nation’s ongoing opioid crisis, a New York judge has confirmed Gil Kerlikowske, a former national drug czar in the Obama administration, as an outside monitor overEndo will pay him up to $25,000 a month, according to court documents.,” said Temple University law professor Jonathan Lipson.
In the preliminary injunction signed by Garrity, Endo agreed to promotions and lobbying restrictions on its opioid business. Among those restrictions are not making false or “unconscionable comments” about opioids, or offering discounts to patients for opioid pills. Oregon court documents show that Endo sold branded or generic oxymorphone, hydromorphone, hydrocodone and oxycodone drugs. Endo’s operations include Par Pharmaceutical, a generic drug company.Andrew Kolodny, president of Physicians for Responsible Prescribing and medical director for the Opioid Policy Research Collaboration at Brandeis University, said that Endo has the legal right to promote opioids “but with this injunction they are prohibited from doing so.
Former President Obama appointed Kerlikowske as director of the Office of the National Drug Control in 2009, a position known as the drug czar. Kerlikowske later served as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. During a law-enforcement career, he led the Seattle police department. One of oxymorphone’s characteristics is that its potency dramatically increases when it’s injected. In 2017, Endo pulled a reformulated and crush-resistant Opana ER pills from the U.S. market under pressure from the FDA because it was being abused through injection by drug users.
