The FDA has approved Zohydro, a potent new painkiller that experts warn could be lethal in small doses. Adam Curry presents a theory of "reverse native advertising," suggesting that pharmaceutical companies might pay for news coverage highlighting a drug's danger to ensure it remains a controlled, high-value product on the market.

### Zohydro ER FDA Approval, Native Advertising

The FDA approved Zohydro ER, a high-dose pure hydrocodone pill, despite an 11-2 vote against it by an advisory committee. Media coverage of the drug's launch is criticized as "native advertising" that highlights the drug's potency (10 times that of Vicodin) while ostensibly warning of its dangers. The drug is described as "heroin in a pill" and is set to hit the market in March 2014.

### Forbes Native Advertising, Zohydro Ad Placement

- **Episode:** [596: Undesirable Nudity](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/596-undesirable-nudity.md)
- **Published:** 2014-03-06
- **Time:** 38:44–43:56

An article in Forbes by contributor Melanie Haken is analyzed for its use of native advertising, featuring a large ad for Zohydro ER embedded within a piece about its dangers. The text describes the "high" of the drug lasting 12 hours, which is viewed as a promotional tactic disguised as a health warning. Similar "fawning" coverage of tech companies like Huawei is cited as evidence of a new, paid-for writing style in mainstream business journalism.
