TY - JOUR T1 - PEtition targets painkiller marketing in effort to curb overdose deaths AU - Kuehn BM Y1 - 2012/09/26 N1 - 10.1001/2012.jama.11248 JO - JAMA SP - 1194 EP - 1196 VL - 308 IS - 12 N2 - As the number of deaths in the United States involving overdoses of prescription opioid medications continues a decade-long increase, a multidisciplinary group of clinicians is calling on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revise the labels of these drugs. They argue that aggressive marketing of painkillers for chronic noncancer pain has contributed to this ongoing public health crisis, despite limited evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of these medications for patients with chronic noncancer pain.
