Oxycodone / Aspirin

And at the end of 80, and of course, that time, our claim to fame was developing a range of medications from the opium poppy.

So we had the super heavy-duty drugs called Percodan, Percocet, Oxycodone, which were used to treat acute pain.

We also had developed this medication called Naloxone or Narcan.

So in 84, three years after I joined them, at the end of 84, Nantrexone got approved for the first non-addicting drug to prevent people from relapsing to opioid use, especially those who are coming back home from residential treatment or from prison or jails.

You're going to talk to yourself.

Yeah, I had to look up Percodan.

Yeah.

I guess it's just somehow different than Percocet, but it's a painkiller.

Were you on Percocet,

Percodan, Oxycodone? Oxycodone, that's it too, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, no warts on his penis.

Uh, Elvis Presley's tox- toxicology report showed high levels of codeine, Demerol, Dilaudid, per- Percodan, uh, and the grooviest of all '70s drug, Quaaludes.

So they, you know-

Ah

It isn't.

Percodan never hurt anybody.

Telling all threes for amateurs.

Like that, you're like, oh, he's going through all of them.

While drug abuse played a significant role, another factor that's often overlooked was constipation.

But his blood was found to contain high levels of opioids, including Dilaudid, Percodan, Demerol, Codeine.

Elvis was actually found on the toilet at the time of his death due to a strain of having a bowel movement that they believe could have put pressure on his heart and aorta.

An autopsy actually revealed his colon was enlarged and impacted, so he was constipated at the time of his death.

Wasn't my fault.

It was the Percodan.

If you ask me, that stuff rots your brain.

And now a word from our new sponsor.

Percodan! Ah, crap.
