The decision follows a May advisory committee meeting that reviewed studies showing increased dangers of misuse, dependence, and both fatal and non-fatal overdoses in patients using opioids over extended periods.\n<\/p>\n<p>The FDA\u2019s review concluded that existing labels lacked adequate warnings and failed to reflect the absence of well-controlled studies supporting long-term use. The new labels will include stronger warnings on addiction risks, dose-related harm, and the dangers of abruptly discontinuing medication, along with guidance for when long-acting opioids should be considered.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe death of almost one million Americans during the opioid epidemic has been one of the cardinal failures of the public health establishment,\u201d said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. \u201cThis long-overdue labeling change is only part of what needs to be done \u2014 we also need to modernize our approval processes and post-market monitoring so that nothing like this ever happens again.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>In addition to labeling changes, the FDA is now requiring a new clinical trial to more rigorously study the long-term effects of opioids. Drug manufacturers must submit the updated labels within 30 days.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us\u2026<\/p>\n<p>For Secretary Kennedy to seek the Lord as he oversees the review of federal health regulations.<br \/>\nFor Commissioner Makary to receive God\u2019s guidance as he heads the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color\"> Sources: Department of Health and Human Services\n<\/p>\n<p>RECENT PRAYER UPDATES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New labeling rules follow evidence linking extended opioid use to serious health dangers, including addiction and overdose.
