Description:
"Opioids, Inc." reveals how Insys Therapeutics amassed millions by aggressively marketing Subsys, a fentanyl-based painkiller significantly stronger than morphine. FRONTLINE and the Financial Times investigate the company's tactics, including bribing doctors, targeting high-prescribing practitioners, and misleading insurers. The documentary details how Insys incentivized sales teams with cash prizes for prescribing higher doses, despite known risks to patients. Ultimately, the company's scheme unraveled as federal prosecutors used anti-racketeering laws, leading to the first sentencing of a pharmaceutical CEO to prison time in the US for involvement in the opioid crisis.
