Vicodin

Narcotic (that is, opiate) pain reliever (see 'oxycodone') that the FDA took off the market... not because of its opiate properties (which will block your pain or, if you're not in pain, get you high), but because the company that makes it, to preserve their copywrite and keep it from becoming generic (our slogan: "profits ahead of people"), added enough aceteminophen (Tylenol, APAP) to it to fry your liver. For chronic pain patients, oxycodone is great stuff, and so lots of people were put on Vicodin (the company bribed doctors with freebies and trips, etc., to prescribe it instead of generic oxycodone, that costs less)... then their patients started suffering liver failures and dying. Oh well... they'd made their profits.
