Sure, such a drug or related pain killer should be confined to a small number of conditions for which there are not a lot of other options, and I believe when there are not a lot of options, pain should always be able to be treated to the best of its ability. Yes, monitoring very closely adverse things, but people should not have to live a tough illness in pain.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of things of course, though even though I may be pretty liberal minded I find "Public Citizen" has outgrown its original roots and is a bit on the overkill side.... I mean, e.g.
