WHO Formally Retracts Opioid Guidelines that Came under Fire
What is this about?
This factual case is about the World Health Organization (WHO), who retracted its controversial guidelines on the use of opioid analgetics. Information which was written in the guidelines was not evidence based and was misleading. For example, the guidelines stated that 'opioid analfesics are known to be safe and there is no need to fear accidental death or dependence'.
