Regarding Targiniq:
"The new drug can be crushed and then snorted or injected to release its full narcotic payload instantly — the pattern of abuse that fueled addiction and overdoses involving Purdue’s original OxyContin pills. The naxolone becomes active when the pills are crushed."

Essentially, the naxolone doesn’t kick in when the pills are swallowed whole. Hence, Targiniq can easily still be abused.

who wants a "pain" pill that makes you go to the bathroom all day long? I'd rather take a real pain med and a stool softner that you know how it's going to work
