National Petition to Recall OxyContin
Whereas, OxyContin abuse has reached epidemic proportions in many regions of the United States and has been destructive of countless futures, families, and communities; Whereas, public education; prevention initiatives; more prudent physician prescribing; improved treatment services; and more comprehensive law enforcement efforts---are all critically important, but much more is needed to halt the increasingly widespread abuse of Oxycontin; We, the undersigned, call upon the FDA and Purdue Pharma to recall OxyContin until it can be reformulated to a medication of minimal abuse potential.
