State health officials are still dealing with the fallout from a tainted synthetic cannabis epidemic that sickened hundreds and killed 3.
Individuals who have taken the drugs and are in recovery have lengthily ongoing treatments to do and those efforts have been given a boost by a big donation. Valeant Pharmaceuticals is giving the state 800,000 tablets of vitamin K. IDPH Director Nirav Shah says the users of laced drugs are in need of help.
Those who have been impacted by using the drug could have a long road to recovery. Patients may have to take 30 vitamin K tablets a day for six months. The donated tablets will make the treatment free for those in need.
