Society and culture
[edit]Implicated in deaths
[edit]In June 2009, an FDA advisory panel recommended that Percocet,Vicodin,and every other combination of acetaminophen withnarcoticanalgesics[5]be limited in their sales because of their contributions to an alleged 400 acetaminophen-related deaths in the U.S. each year, that were attributed toacetaminophen overdoseand associated liver damage.[6]
In December 2009, a study found a fivefold increase in oxycodone-related deaths inOntario, Canada(mostly accidental) between 1991 and 2007 that led to a doubling of all opioid-related deaths in Ontario over the same period.[7][8][9]
