There was a documentary about it on TV here in Australia a few months ago. There are several other trade names ;Tramatol, endone. The druggies go Dr shopping to get scripts & then hit the pharmacies quick before the computer system updates that they have already been supplied. Addicts pay $20 ~ $30 per tab in capital cities here in Australia. Some who are on some sort of disability pension supplement their income by selling 1/2 their script quantities. it is just another form of drug trafficking. They have clean well made product to sell. The addicts grind up the slow release tabs to make them a quick hit.
