Let Sandman Law get the job done.

Opioids are prescription narcotics with pharmacological properties similar to opium and heroin. While opioids can ease pain, they also can create an addictive euphoric high in users.

The pharmaceutical industry played a key role in causing the opioid epidemic through its deceptive marketing of highly addictive opioids to treat common chronic pain conditions. Today, state attorneys general, local governments, and other public entities nationwide are pushing for investigations and litigation to seek accountability for the harm wrought. 

Purdue Pharma, Endo, Mallinckrodt, Teva, Janssen, Cardinal, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, CVS and Walgreens, and other drug manufacturers and distributors are facing civil actions across the United States for their roles in manufacturing, marketing, and distributing prescription opioid pain medications, including brand-name drugs OxyContin®; Hysingla® ER; Nucynta®; Actiq®; Opana®/Opana® ER; Percodan®; and Percocet®.
