Oxy expert at APP
September 12, 2014
UNIVERSITY of Toronto
Pharmacology, Medicine and
Psychiatry Professor Emeritus Dr
Edward Sellers will be a keynote
speaker at APP 2015, presenting
‘Abuse Deterrent Technologies
and Public Health Needs’ at the
Mundipharma APP Plenary.
At a media briefing this week,
Sellers said both the US and Canada
had introduced tamper-proof
oxycodone, but Canada had both
generic and tamper-proof available.
He said in Canada, the different
provinces decided for themselves
regarding reimbursement of these.
US studies, including of poisoning
and double doctoring, had seen
drops in abuse since the tamperproof
introduction, he said.
