The New England Journal of Medicine, August 2018
In a note just published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Mathias Dewatripont and Michel Goldman call U.S. policymakers to urgently consider a ban on the practice of certain companies to provide free samples of prescription opioids.
The provision of free drug samples for promotional purposes is common in the United States. However, there is evidence that free samples often do not reach the intended patient population, reduce patients’ adherence to their treatment plans, and eventually increase health care costs. In the case of prescription opioids, free samples can lead to even more dramatic consequences. Opioids are potent stimulators of the reward system of the brain, so getting a free “taste” of these medications can precipitate compulsive and long-lasting seeking of substances that reproduce their effects.
