Phoenix-Based Opioid Drug Maker Reports Decline In Quarterly Revenue

Phoenix-based opioid drug maker Insys Therapeutics is reporting an almost 42 percent decline in its quarterly revenue.

Insys is among the nation’s top opioid drug makers by sales -- and has come under scrutiny during the last several months as authorities address an epidemic in painkiller use.
