A $5.7-billion multistate agreement will settle a raft of lawsuits filed against Walgreens over its 'role in fueling the opioid epidemic,' the California attorney general's office said.
California could receive more than $500 million from a $5.7-billion multistate agreement to settle a raft of lawsuits filed against Walgreens over the pharmacy chain’s role in the opioid crisis, officials said.
“To all those struggling with substance abuse disorders, to all those desperately in need of treatment and recovery options — help is on the way,” Bonta said in the release. In addition to the funds, the settlement would also require that Walgreens investigate prescriptions with “red flags” before dispensing medications and conduct site visits and compliance reviews, among other stipulations.
