Death By Fentanyl Podcast Series | Christine Capelouto’s Daughter Alex killed by 1/2 OxyContin Pill Part II

In Episode 215, Part II, I continue my conversation with Christine Capelouto about her daughter, Alex’s death by 1/2 of one tablet of oxycontin laced with fentanyl and delve into her activism to seek justice for her family and others.

Christine goes into depth about Alex, her growing up years, her struggles with depression and much more.

When Alex ordered the pill from a drug dealer online at SnapChat, she had no idea that the pain pill she expected had enough fentanyl in it to kill her.

And in this second part, she talks about finding Alex, trying to revive her, as well as the events afterward. We also discussed her and her husband, Matt’s activism to bring justice to the drug dealer as well as work with Congressman Darryl Issa to push for a law in California so more will be done to those pushing this illegal substance.

The Mary Mac Show | Death By Fentanyl Podcast Series | The Pharmacist Dan Schneider’s Crusade Against OxyContin

#oxycontin #danschneider #thepharmacist #netflix #pillmilldoctors #sacklerfamily #purduepharma

In Episode 209, Part II, I speak with Dan Schneider of the Netflix Series “The Pharmacist” about his crusade against OxyContin Pill Mill Doctor and Purdue Pharma.

OxyContin has been causing deaths and addictions which ruined the lives of families for decades.

We speak at length about how young people were coming into his pharmacy with heavy duty prescriptions for OxyContin for 40 and 80 mgs each and sometimes many more at the same time of other drugs.

This led him to start doing research to find a pill mill doctor, Dr. Clegget, who was operating in a town nearby in the overnight hours. What doctor operates over night?

He tells me all he did to get her shut town because young people were dying in his area.

Later we talk about how pharmaceutical representatives were pressuring doctors all over the country to give their patients OxyContin for pain. They claimed it was only 1% addiction, but shortly found out that was a lie.

Watch this second episode about the crusade Dan has taken since 1999 to help people not become addicted to these horrific pain medications.
