Opana(®) ER induced thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We present the case of a patient who developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) following intravenous injection of Opana(®) ER. TTP reemerged after three months of abstinence with Opana misuse. This case report brings awareness to the possibility of developing TTP in those who misuse Opana, which is a growing concern.
