Pfizer to continue developing Pain Therapeutics' painkiller

[spini4]

Oct 22 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc said it would continue developing the abuse-resistant painkiller made by its partner Pain Therapeutics Inc and would conduct new clinical trials to address questions raised by the U.S. regulator regarding the drug.

Pain Therapeutics shares jumped 22 percent in premarket trading.

The drug, Remoxy, has been rejected twice by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to concerns about its manufacturing process and chemical composition.

Remoxy was developed using the abuse-resistant technology of Durect Corp, whose shares rose 7 percent before the bell.

The ultimate pain killer would be a suicide booth; there's a reason why we let those in all sorts of pain use opiates. We want people to be living, guys.

"Abuse proof"= show me the suicide booth. 8(

this stuff sounds like it will be more abuseable. its a liquid formulation of oxycodone and something probably polymer based to try to make it be absorbed at a controlled rate. IDK but i agree with you Cap, abuse proof opiates are horse shit in pill form

Remoxy is a joke...

It's just oxycodone in a gel...

Anyone with a brain should be able to get around it.
