Teva Pharmaceuticals, one of the biggest makers of generic drugs, has agreed to pay $85 million to settle a lawsuit over allegations the company contributed to Oklahoma's opioid painkiller epidemic
The settlement comes two months after Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, agreed to pay a $270 million settlement in the historic lawsuit, and just days before the scheduled start of a trial.The case against Johnson & Johnson, the only remaining defendant, will be heard by a district judge this week.
5 million of the settlement would be used to help establish a national addiction treatment and research center at Oklahoma State University, with additional payments of $15 million each year for the next five years beginning in 2020. The company will also provide $20 million of addiction treatment and opioid rescue medications to the center over the same five-year time frame.A remaining $12.5 million from the settlement will be used directly to help cities and counties with the opioid crisis.
