We dont know yet what killed prince, but we know that he had opioid painkillers with him. Millions take them. Many are addicted. How did we lose control of opioids and how do we get the epidemic back in the bottle . Jim axelrod spoke to one of americas most prominent doctors. This has been one of the great mistakes of modern medicine. Dr. David kessler who ran the fda from 1990 to 1997 doesnt hold back when talking about the explosion in opioid use in the last two decades. Who is to blame . Fda has responsibility, pharmaceutical companies have responsibility, physicians have responsibility. We didnt see these what they truly are. From 1999 to 2014, sales of opioids quadrupled in the u. S. And so did the number of opioid related deaths. There was the notion that pain was the fifth vital sign. That you wanted to relieve pain. That was essential. Dosed until the pain was alleviated. That says kessler was a costly mistake. 78 people now die each day from overdosing on painkillers. But the cdc didnt issue prescription guidelines until this past march. Recommending doctors try over the counter pain meds before prescribing limited quantities of opioids but not mandating they do so. Given the fact that this country is in the middle of a crisis, are these guidelines Strong Enough . Well see. This is an american this is an american disease. In the 21 years since oxy contin came on the market it generated more than 35 billion in sales. The inappropriate promotion of drugs contributed significantly to this epidemic. But how . Tell me how . Because Drug Companies took a small piece, sliver of science, and widely promoted it. As not being addictive. That was false. Reporter while pill mills like this one in west virginia, are among the most visible signs of the epidemic. Kessler says 2 3 of painkiller prescriptions are written by well intentioned physicians trying to do right by their patients. Everybody has to do better. The cdc guidelines need to be implemented, pharmaceutical come pans need not doctors need to prescribe more wisely and in a more limited way. But it is going to take a societal shift. It is bigger than any one of the steps in order to change this epidemic. When asked about his responsibility as the head of the fda, dr. Kessler said the epidemic took hold after he left the agency in 1997. But scott he does admit he should have pushed for stricter prescription practices when she was still in charge.
