FDA Tells Opioids to Stop Ghosting Our Livers, Seriously
In a stunning twist of common sense, the FDA is demanding that opioid makers slap on "stronger language" warning users about the risk of "overdose and death." Yes, because apparently patients werenât catching on despite experimental caveats like 'Take as directed' and 'Risk of severe harm.' The FDA bluntly says these new labels are "required," which is FDA-speak for 'No more Mr. Nice Warning.' Itâs like giving a housecat a neon sign saying 'Beware: Can Knock Over Your Entire Life.' Maybe next they'll add 'Not for use as a happiness substitute.' Seriously, thanks, FDA, weâll read the fine print after the drama unfolds.

(1 of 3)Congrats to opioid labels leveling up from "may cause side effects" to actual death warnings. At this rate, soda might need warning labels for 'Heart Attack & Emotional Breakdown Included.'
So FDA wants opioid makers to put "overdose and death" in bold? Next FDA meeting: "Can we label breathing as potentially harmful?"
Adding 'Warning: Might cause death' on opioids is like adding 'Caution: Water is wet' to a swimming pool sign. Thanks for the heads-up, Captain Obvious.
