I saw a commercial today for a new nasal spray. It doesn't clear sinuses or address allergies. It is for accidental overdose from opioids, or painkillers.
There are a lot of ways to treat pain, both natural and pharmaceutical. The same industry who creates these deadly pills has now come up with a new product to stop these very deaths. That's a smart business strategy for those who care about profit instead of people.
3 Interesting Facts About Opioids:
1. Drug Overdose is the Leading Cause of Accidental Death in the US
2. Opioid Addiction is Driving this Epidemic
3. More People Die of Prescription Pain Relievers than from Heroin
