Opioid manufacturers Allergan and Teva will pay San Francisco $34 million in cash and another $20 million toward purchasing Narcan, a medicine that can rapidly reverse an overdose, for distribution across The City.
Opioid manufacturers Allergan and Teva, two of the world's largest generic drug manufactures, will pay San Francisco $34 million in cash and another $20 million toward purchasing Narcan, a medicine that can rapidly reverse an overdose, for distribution across The City.The settlement follows a $10 million deal The City reached with Endo pharmaceuticals in April just before the federal civil case began.
The lawsuit alleges Walgreens “over-dispensed opioids without proper due diligence and failed to identify, divert and report suspicious orders as required by law,” according to a press release. Opioid prescription rates have been on the decline in the United States for the last decade. In 2020, the dispensing rate fell to its lowest level in 15 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
