• THE OPIOID ABUSE CRISIS “IS NOT OVERWHELMINGLY BEING FUELED BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS”

  

  The Patient Opioid Notification Act requires that medical practitioners discuss the addictive potential of opioid-based painkillers with their patients – and parents of minor patients – as well as discuss, when appropriate, safer non-opioid pain relief alternatives. Prior to enactment, only 18% of the participants warned patients about the risk of opioid addiction when prescribing opioids. After enactment, 95% routinely warned patients about the risk of addiction.
