Dr. James Choo of Pain Consultants of East Tennessee spoke with WATE Channel 6 ABC on July 11, 2017, about opioid misuse and the announced withdrawal of reformulated Opana ER, an extended-release oxymorphone medication.

The interview addressed a development in the national conversation about opioid safety. Earlier that summer, the FDA had requested the product’s removal from the market because of concerns related to misuse.
