When the prescribing trend is more cautious, that begins when fewer patients get addicted and so that we stop stocking homes with a highly addictive drug.
How did the FDA contribute to the opioid crisis? In this episode of Cover 2 Resources, Dr. Andrew Kolodny, a leading expert on the opioid epidemic, sheds light on this pressing issue. With years of experience in public health, including significant work with the New York City Department of Health, Dr. Kolodny brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
