The U.S. Justice Department alleges that Walgreens filled millions of prescriptions, including dangerous amounts of opioids, without a legitimate medical purpose over the last decade.
The complaint states that Walgreens pressed pharmacists to fill prescriptions without adequate validation, indicating a systemic issue in compliance with the law.
Walgreens is accused of ignoring evidence of unlawful prescriptions and restricting pharmacists from sharing critical information regarding dubious prescribers.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General emphasized that Walgreens must be held accountable for its negligence in regulating opioid dispensation, which led to illegal distribution.
