Expectations for Response Guidelines.

Opiddiction Goes Global

Overview

As many states enact loid Aaws that set time or dosage limits on prescription or dispensation of controlled substances including opioids, the demand for legally sold opioids is declining slightly in the United States (CDC, n.d.). The illegal market, however, is booming.

After legal actions were taken against the tobacco industry in the United States, the industry responded by increasing international marketing efforts. “Big Pharma” is now doing the same (Ryan, Girion, & Glover, 2016).

It is estimated that between 5 and 8 billion people outside the United States do not have access to pain medications, which represents an enormous growth opportunity for companies like Purdue, producer and distributor of oxycodone. Remember: when Purdue introduced oxycodone in the United States, they claimed it was nonaddictive.

  • Seek clarification. Talk about what is unclear. Ask questions. Offer suggestions.
  • Include personal examples or work experiences that add perspective to your reply.
