Not for a very long time. The current prescription opioid crisis is for the millions of patients in pain unable to get any pain meds (ex: ibupofen following surgery).

#7> The research team points out that while some may see the practice of being paid to endorse drugs as unethical, it is not illegal and does not affect licensing.
Does the US have no transparency laws for this? As in: "if you promote a product, then you must disclose if you're paid for it"?
Even for things like "sponsored posts" on Instagram this is required; e.g. from the FTC: "Do you work with brands to recommend or endorse products? If so, you need to comply with the law when making these recommendations. One key is to make a good disclosure of your relationship to the brand." https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-...
That must also apply to drugs? Some Open Payments website seems incredibly untransparent, and wouldn't comply with the social media transparency requirements as I read that FTC page.
Surely the rules for Instagram tat can't be more strict than drugs?

#8Doctors who fail to disclose an interest should lose their license. The SEC doesn't tolerate such shenanigans for finance, why should the FDA permit it for drugs?
