Idatha yamva nje ibonisa ukuba ukugqithisa iziyobisi ngoku kungoyena nobangela wokufa kwabantu baseMelika abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-50. Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela, kodwa inani lokusweleka kweziyobisi ngokugqithisileyo lisenokuba liye labetha phezulu ngo-2016, ubukhulu becala lisuka kwiziyobisi ze-opioid ezifana ne-heroin. Ngokucacileyo, iMelika iphakathi kwengxaki yeziyobisi eyingozi.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ucinge ukuba njengowasetyhini ophilileyo, osebenzayo, ukuba lo mbandela awukuchaphazeli, kuya kufuneka wazi ukuba abasetyhini banamakhoboka eepilisi zentlungu, ezinokuthi zikhokelele kwiziyobisi ze-opioid ezingekho mthethweni ezinje ngeheroin. Uninzi lwabantu aluqondi ukuba ukuthatha amayeza onyango kunyango olunokubangela ukuba ube likhoboka leziyobisi, kodwa ngelishwa, kuhlala kunjalo. (Buza nje lo mfazi uthathe iipilisi zentlungu ngenxa yokulimala kwakhe kwebhola yebhasikiti kunye nokuhlaselwa kwi-heroin.)

Njengawo nawuphi na umba ophambili wesizwe wezempilo, isisombululo kubhubhane we-opioid asichanekanga ngokuthe ngqo. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba umlutha uhlala uqala ngokusetyenziswa ngokusemthethweni kweepilisi zentlungu, iyavakala into yokuba abalawuli beziyobisi bajonga ngakumbi imigqaliselo ekhoyo ngoku koogqirha nakwizigulana zabo. Kwintshukumo ephawulekayo kwiveki ephelileyo, iU.S.Ukutya kunye noLawulo lweeDrug (i-FDA) ikhuphe ingxelo icela ukukhunjulwa kwepilisi yeentlungu ebizwa ngokuba yi-Opana ER. Ngokusisiseko, iingcali ze-FDA zikholelwa ukuba imingcipheko yeli chiza izodlula naziphi na iinzuzo zonyango.

Oku kunokwenzeka ngenxa yokuba iyeza lisandul 'ukuguqulwa ngokutsha ngengubo entsha (ngokumangalisayo) ukuthintela abantu abaneziyobisi ze-opioid ukuba bangayihluthi. Ngenxa yoko, abantu baqala ukuyifaka endaweni yayo. Le ndlela yokuhambisa iyeza ngenaliti yadityaniswa ne-HIV kunye nokuqhambuka kwe-hepatitis C, phakathi kweminye imiba yezempilo enzulu kunye neyosulelayo, ngokwengxelo. Ngoku, i-FDA igqibe ekubeni icele i-Endo, umenzi wechiza, ukuba alisuse ngokupheleleyo ichiza emarikeni. Ukuba i-Endo ayithobeli, i-FDA ithi iyakuthatha amanyathelo okususa ichiza kwimarike ngokwabo.

Linyathelo elinesibindi kwinxalenye ye-FDA, eyathi, kude kube ngoku, ayizange inyuke ngokusemthethweni ukulwa imfazwe ne-opioid ngokufuna ukukhunjulwa kwechiza ngokusetyenziswa kwayo ngokungafanelekanga. Ukufumana iinkampani zamachiza ziyeke ukwenza amayeza ajika inzuzo enkulu, ngaphandle komngcipheko kwimpilo yoluntu, akusoloko kulula, nangona kunjalo.

Kungenxa yoko le nto ikomiti yeSenate iphanda iinkampani zamachiza ukumisela indima yazo kwingxaki yelizwe liphela. Kwaye ngelixa kukho unyango olusebenzayo kula machiza, kunye nokuthambeka okukhankanyiweyo ngaphambili okukhobokisayo kunye nokuxhomekeka, kubalulekile ukuhlala unolwazi malunga nemingcipheko yokuthatha iipilisi zentlungu, kunye nokuthathela ingqalelo imiqondiso yesilumkiso sokusetyenziswa gwenxa kweziyobisi.
