TSRI Scientists Develop Vaccine Against Fatal Prescription Opioid Overdose
LA JOLLA, CA. Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have developed a vaccine that blocks the pain-numbing effects of the opioid drugs oxycodone (oxy) and hydrocodone (hydro) in animal models. The vaccine also appears to decrease the risk of fatal opioid overdose, a growing cause of death in the United States. (Scripps Research Institute, USA, 23.11.2016)
