Victims and family members aren’t pleased with a federal judge’s decision to fine the maker of OxyContin and three of its executives more than 634 million dollars for misleading the public about its risk of addiction. Purdue Pharma, its top lawyer and former president and former chief medical officer pled guilty in May for claiming that OxyContin was less addictive and less subject to abuse than other pain medications. The three each also entered pleas to a misdemeanor count of misbranding the drug. Of the total fine, 34 and a-half million dollars was levied on those three. Donnie Trent, of Lee County, said he is a recovering addict who tried the drug and then struggled with addiction for five years. He said money needs to be spent on treatment, because jails are not the answer to addiction.” The pills can produce a heroin-like high if crushed and then swallowed, snorted or injected. In 2002, the D-E-A said the drug caused 146 deaths and contributed to another 318.
