Purdue Pharma didn't dream up all of its ideas on its own on how to push its pills.

No, it paid global consulting firm McKinsey handsomely for 15 years to design marketing plans to help it sell more pills, tomb or patients at increasing potency for longer periods of time.

這不，它向全球諮詢公司麥肯錫支付了15年的鉅額費用，請其設計營銷計劃，幫助它在更長時間內以越來越高的效力銷售更多的藥丸、墓或患者。

作為協議的一部分，它將交出數萬份有關其為製藥商工作的內部文件，包括普度公司，OxyContin的製造商，該公司由富有的Sackler家族和製藥商擁有，與流行病最密切相關的ID。

The consulting firm will also continue to investigate whether employees, including two partners, tried to destroy documents in response to probes concerning its work with Purdue, which in October agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges over its marketing of OxyContin as part of a more than $8 billion settlement.
