Great post seven-up. Virtually every state in the country has multiple programs initiated to combat the opiate epidemic. The FDA can do there part in fighting this battle by granting clearance to Actipatch. It is one more vital tool that can be effectively used to reduce the saturation of addictive pain pill usage.

"Christensen says people don’t realize the nature of the addiction or how strong it is. Eighty percent of heroin users started with prescription drugs."

"Dr. Eric Christensen, Utah’s Chief Medical Examiner, knows the seriousness of the opiate issue firsthand."

“Just this morning I did another heroin overdose autopsy," he said. "It’s a very common thing that we see pretty much multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day.”
