Tackling opioid drug abuse through new delivery methods and post-marketing studies

17 February 2013

The opioid pain management market will continue to evolve over the coming years with new products and post-marketing studies that aim to reduce the risk of abuse, states a new report by healthcare experts GBI Research.

The new report explores the future of abuse-resistant formulations, which have become a vital feature in today’s health care environment, due to the fact that patients experiencing moderate or severe pain are treated almost exclusively with opioid analgesics.

GBI Research notes that in the USA, Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Japan, 352 opioid-based products are currently approved to treat a range of painful conditions, based upon 16 different opioid compounds.
