What Happened To Purdue Pharma & The Sackler Family After Painkiller's Lawsuit After the 2007 lawsuit depicted in the Painkiller ending, Purdue Pharma continued selling OxyContin. They made small changes to their marketing practices to improve their image. However, they got into much more legal trouble down the line. In 2020, Purdue Pharma pled guilty to three felony charges.
Is OxyContin Still Prescribed To Patients Today? During the court scene, Edie discusses the upset and frustration everyone feels toward the plea deal. The worst part, she says, is that they didn't have to stop making OxyContin. After the events of Painkiller, OxyContin remained on the market, sold by Purdue Pharma. In August 2010, Purdue Pharma started selling a reformulated version of OxyContin meant to deter abuse.
Why Shannon Helps Edie In Painkiller Throughout Painkiller, Shannon seems to believe she's helping people. She gets small moments of doubt, such as when she sees the car crash, but she buries those thoughts, taking on a utilitarian mindset that the net positive outweighs the net harm. Her turning point occurs when she goes to the Purdue Pharma sales conference in Miami. Shannon finally recognizes the cult-like hype she perpetuates with her job.
Arthur Sackler's advertising method became especially dangerous when the Sackler family acquired Purdue Pharma. From that point forward, the family made money off medications and advertisements, incentivizing them to practice dirty and illegal advertising. Eventually, Purdue branched into opioids like MSContin and OxyContin. Using the same advertising practices started by Arthur, the Sackler family had a hand in causing the opioid crisis depicted throughout Painkiller.
