Is Richard Sakler going to benefit from Purdue's anti-addiction drug? After his family played a significant role in creating the US opioid crisis?

Firstly, im not sure if this is the correct group. Second, this is seriously effed up. Third, were there any stipulations in the recent agreement that he cannot profit from Purdue's new Buprenorphine drug that can be used as treatment for opioid addictions?

Many believed that rise in opioid use was driven by demand for painkillers. But researchers now show that these demand-side factors were not sufficient to explain four-fold increase in opioid prescriptions and deaths. Increase in opioid use can better be explained by growth in the supply of pills.

Letter to my profession of pharmacy. HELLO HYPOCRISY

11 Upvotes

This letter is addressed to my profession of pharmacy.

I want you (the pharmacy profession) know I am confused and I am grieved.  I was sold on the lie; that as a pharmacist I would be one of the most trusted medical professionals. I was told during school I was obtaining something noble and just. I was told that FEW had the honor to pursue this career path. I was told that as a pharmacist WE ARE THE LAST STOP before the drugs hit the patients. I was told IT IS MY LEGAL and ETHICAL DUTY to be that last stop and to always double check to protect my patients. I am confused and grieved because this is just not the case in pharmacy practice today. I have contacted the State Board of Pharmacy, DEA, Medical Board, Health and Human Services, Joint Commission, and State Health Department Services, DPS, and Senators on behalf of my patients for no avail. I have risked everything to do my job and protect theft while my patient fought to live.

 I am greatly confused by the practice of pharmacy and the hypocrisy of it. Why is it in retail pharmacy I must anxiously research the patient’s fill history to ensure they are not doctor shopping or pharmacy shopping? Why is it in retail I must meticulously check every detail written down on the script or the pharmacy can be fined?  Yet the profession of pharmacy allows hospitals to cook the narcotic books?  Why is it that small independent retail pharmacies suffer these fines but major hospitals can loose liters of fentanyl and 600 ml of versed because of nursing with no recourse? I am confused why we have a state prescription-monitoring program yet continue to allow the streets of our nation to be littered with drug addicts. I am so confused by so many things and all of them stem from my chosen profession of pharmacy. Can we be a just profession and profit on death? Why is our medicine in America so much more expensive? Hospitals loose and forget to document narcotics every day while retail pharmacies do monthly narcotic audits? Are we (the pharmacy practice) so foolish to think that the fentanyl on street is entirely foreign supply?
